PASJDIf Hal is right there are an awful lot of erroneous PSA flips out there, as well as SMRs, Becketts, etc. I assume the two copyright dates are at the heart of the problem; but it does seem that if the cards were all issued in 1949 they should be called 1949. I would guess, though, that PSA will be reluctant to implement any change either in the way it labels cards or in the SMR. As for Beckett, assuming they call Leafs either 1948 or 1948-49, they are still clinging to the ridiculous notion that (for example) Barry Bonds' 1987 cards are his rookie cards when he had three cards widely issued by the major companies in 1986, so I wouldn't expect change there either.
