I'm still puzzled about this (undocumented) wrapper... what's its

I can't answer that, but my guess would be backward compatibility.
In Stata 9, -verinst- did not wrap -about-, but was rather its own
(separate) program. Perhaps -about- simply evolved to replace that
functionality, but they left verinst.ado as a wrapper to ease the
transition.
More seriously, my conclusion is that <verinst> is no longer
available/working in Stata 10, and will fix my lecture notes
accordingly.
-verinst- still works for me under Stata 10. However, since it is no
longer documented (at least not online), you should probably move
away from using it.
