Actually, the latter situation doesn't exist.  Upstream clarified:

  23:23 <hub> none of the original files that where translated to C++ had copyright notice, but a few. these few, the (c) has been transfered
  23:24 <hub> including the MIT license
  23:24 <hub> in the new file

Some old files *do* have LGPL license information, these are
libtomboy/eggtrayicon.[ch] which are copied VERBATIM, and
Tomboy/panelapplet/PanelAppletFactory.cs which hasn't been used at
all.
