R help - Jun 2014 - mgcv: BAM convergence conflicting messages

I'm running some spatial GAMs and am using the bam call (negbin family) and
am getting conflicting information on whether the model is converging or
not.  When the model completes its run, I get a warning message that the
model did not converge.  When I look at the object itself, I'm told that it
did.  See below.

Warning message:
In bgam.fit(G, mf, chunk.size, gp, scale, gamma, method = method,  :
  algorithm did not converge
> mod07.3.BASE.bam5.1$converged
[1] TRUE

Am I missing something?
Thank you,
Trevor

I think it didn't converge. The warning message is for the whole fitting 
iteration, whereas mod07.3.BASE.bam5.1$converged indicates whether 
smoothing parameter selection converged at the final step of the iteration.

best,
Simon
