Is this documented somewhere? It wouldn't hurt if there was a pointer to that documentation right next to the line in Python-ast.c that gets modified by the regeneration. (I've been wondering about this a few times myself.)

Don't think so. How about this for wording for the file's documentation?

/* File automatically generated by %s.

This module must be committed separately from each AST grammar change; the version number is set to the revision number of the commit containing the grammar change. */
