Which means that anyone that has had access to that executable has the right to ask for the source from the original distribution and effectively only your new additions/changes can remain hidden from the GPL virus.

The OP's point was valid, once you release a software compiled with a GPL runtime (spit twice in the direction of the hideous foul beast of abuse) you are bound for all of history to make all the source from the exe available.

True it doesn't "change" the original license but it overrides that snapshot and that is just about the same thing practically.
