Interesting. I haven't actually run the db update script to put
ddrescue 1.6-1 in the repo yet. Why, then, would it report it
missing? It appears 1.5-1 is still in the db file.

It's missing because that's the version of the PKGBUILD in cvs marked CURRENT.

The CURRENT tag is _supposed_ to mean "this is the version currently in the repo" - if you've tagged a package CURRENT and not added the package into the db, then you've made a mistake.

This seems like erroneous erroring on the part of the db update
script; it should not consider packages missing until *that* dev
runs the update script, not any dev.
