The M1 filters I just picked up from Farm & Fleet are different than the older ones I had in my stash. The spring at the top of the filter is gone, when you look into the hole it is now a blue plastic button of some sort (on the M1-103). The M1-102's have no spring at the top at all, but there is one at the bottom now (bottom being near the threads).

Don't know what this means but I thought it was interesting.

Yeah, I just picked up some from FF today as well and noticed exactly what you did.

Anyone know what is going on here?

Really. These weren't but I could understand that. Way back when K-Mart sold M1 filters (they were white then with no flutes), I bought several that when I got home, were some other brand in the box. Considering how expensive they generally are this wasn't too much of a surprise.

Nowadays I always open up the box and make sure it is the right thing.
 
The "blue button" is used on Champ Labs under 3" can diameters in their non-Ecore offerings. I guess they moved it to the M1 offering too. Next time you're there, look at the bigger M1's and see if they have the blue button.
