Yes they do in 7.1.

I still have access to the old 7.1 system via the console.  I updated a
single record in a file via UPDDTA, then changed that record back.  The
object change date got changed.

Then I did the exact same thing to the exact same file on the 7.3 system.
The object change date did NOT get changed.

So 7.1 and 7.3 are different in that regard.  No idea of 7.2 as we skipped
it entirely.
