Followup - SQL Reference Appendix F (V5R2) has an explicit statement that says not to use the QADB* files in QSYS directly. Rather to use the views.

Granting Privileges to Catalog Views: Tables and views in the catalog are like any
other database tables and views. If you have authorization, you can use SQL
statements to look at data in the catalog views in the same way that you retrieve
data from any other table. The tables and views in the catalogs are shipped with
the SELECT privilege to PUBLIC. This privilege may be revoked and the SELECT
privilege granted to individual users.
QSYS Catalog Tables: Most of the catalog views are based on the following tables
in the QSYS library (sometimes called the database cross reference files). These
tables are not shipped with the SELECT privilege to PUBLIC and should not be
used directly:
QADBCCST QADBKFLD QADBXSFLD
QADBFDEP QADBPKG QADBXTRIGB
QADBFCST QADBXRDBD QADBXTRIGC
QADBIFLD QADBXREF QADBXTRIGD

QADBXREF: Yours is the first I've ever heard about not reading the
QADBXREF file - not touching it period.  I've known that it was not
recommended to build logicals on that file, but I've never run into
problems querying the file.  Does IBM warn against this?
