This is as close as I can find right now. Sometimes Stone Design has some alerts and tooltips that are kind of like this, though perhaps less, um, ominous and a little more cute.
Here's one I captured a long time ago from TextEdit (the custom app icon is from IconFactory, IIRC). Yes, it is real and, no, I didn't make it in Interface Builder.

Artman @_@, yours is pretty simple: there's an OS X and an OS 9 version of Acrobat Reader but, for reasons best known by Adobe, there's no difference in the version number...
Okay, here's a weird one I've been too lazy to find out about over on the Adobe forums....but maybe it doesn't apply here as there's no dialogue to go along with it....
Basically:
When I crank up Illustrator 10 it makes a beep about halfway through the startup. The only thing that comes to mind is that it could be a system alert notifying me that modifier keys have been changed (something you can set in the Universal Access portion of system prefs). But I don't -think- that's what it is.
Anyway....not as good as the others in this thread. I'll keep an eye out for a better contribution.

Good point there. I also said Adobe Acrobat 5...no...just the Reader. I had a long day at work with Acrobat on a Windows machine at work that same day. I distilled a 16 page catalogue and brought it home to check out on the Mac.
I always had Reader open in Classic. Aggrivated me to no end. So much so that I got another plug-in for the browsers to handle PDFs. But I guess after upgrading to Jaguar it was resolved. Still, to a novice that message would make them wonder what the hell Adobe was telling them.
Funny, thought after the weekend there'd be more...I use a screen capture program called Constrictor..very cool and easy to use one.

Ohhh, that's why they don't support metadata.
