Hi John, after some investigation, this new behavior is as-designed:

From the engineer: This was an intentional change to better preserve metadata during collisions from other applications:

"The new logic can lead to some cases where the user deleted information in another application and it reappears in Photoshop because it was not deleted in all instances (we have at least one source for the info, but no idea of the intention behind the change). But that is much safer than deleting added information which was intended (deleting a byline, description, or copyright is BAD)."

So I'm stuck with CC 2014 for Adobe's new design behavior is do some meta-data set incorrectly. Adobe  engineer feels it is a better design not to do meta-data correctly.  Frankly that engineer should be terminated.  If a user delete data they  want.  That is a user error.  If Adobe does not deleted data the user want delete that is an Adobe Bug.  Plain and Simple.

I can of course program around this Adobe bug like I program around other Adobe bugs.  It would be easy to set up a Script Open Document event.  The event handler would look to see if "Garbage" was in the meta-data field and if not the handler add "Garbage" to the meta-data filed. For if "Garbage" is in the assignment for the field Adobe will do the assignment correctly.   Once "Garbage" is in the mete-data filed my scripts will work once again. Photoshop is accumulating garbage after all.  Jeff should I add "Garbage" to all by Photoshop document in case I may use a script or should I stay on CC 2014? Do I really need to add more "Garbage" to use CC 2017?

What the hell does this state :

(we have at least one source for the info, but no idea of the intention behind the change). 

To me it looks like your Idea is to keep adding bugs you have an  engineer design into Photoshop!

My intention is very simple remove data I added. If that data is not removed the next time my script is used it will not work correctly. My scripts are by design,  designed to be use twice and over and over every other time it operation changes.  It is like a save and restore well that the way they did work and still do in cc 2014.

Try this to set the instructions to nothing. 

var writeOutFilesForDebugging = false;

main();

function main() {

 if (documents.length == 0 || activeDocument.info.instructions.length == 0) {
    alert('Open a document and place some information in the headline via the File Info dialog.');
    return false;
 }

 var errors = 0;
 var errorString = "";
 var startStr = "<photoshop:Instructions>";
 var endStr = "</photoshop:Instructions>";
 var xmpStr = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
 var startI = xmpStr.indexOf(startStr);
 var endI = xmpStr.indexOf(endStr);
 if (startI == -1 || endI == -1) {
    alert("Wow, I couldn't find it.");
    return false;
 }

 if (writeOutFilesForDebugging) {
  var f = new File("~/Desktop/temp.txt");
  f.open('w');
  f.encoding = 'BINARY';
  f.write(xmpStr);
  f.close();
 }

 endI = endI + endStr.length;
 xmpStr = xmpStr.substr(0,startI) + xmpStr.substr(endI, xmpStr.length);

 if (writeOutFilesForDebugging) {
  var f = new File("~/Desktop/temp2.txt");
  f.open('w');

  f.write(xmpStr);

All you need  to get around this new Adobe bug is add 
if (app.activeDocument.info.instructions.indexOf("Garbage") == -1 ) app.activeDocument.info.instructions = app.activeDocument.info.instructions + "Garbage";

Why make it so complex and interavtive? I do not care what it is set to as long as the data i want to remove from it is removed and the data I want to add to it is added.  I do not care what else is in there I   preserve what else is in there be it Garbage or not Garbage.  My script have always work that way till Adobe add the bug in CC 2015 which reported. Adobe chooses not  to remove data if removing the data will return the field to its default empty state. So Garbage works. My scripts need  no be changes the script event handlers will add garbage  if garbage is not in there. The field will not be empty.

You are assigning "Garbage" on every file. That will make every file dirty. I'm just showing you a way to remove the instructions as a work around instead of the work around you provide. That is all. Here is a script that removes the "complex and interactive" parts for you.

SetInstructionsTo("");
function SetInstructionsTo(inString) {

 if (documents.length == 0) {
    return false;
 }
 
 // bug in Photoshop, use XMP to clear out Instructions
 if (inString.length == 0) {
  var startStr = "<photoshop:Instructions>";
  var endStr = "</photoshop:Instructions>";
  var xmpStr = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
  var startI = xmpStr.indexOf(startStr);
  var endI = xmpStr.indexOf(endStr);
  if (startI == -1 || endI == -1) {
    return false;
  }

  endI = endI + endStr.length;
  xmpStr = xmpStr.substr(0,startI) + xmpStr.substr(endI, xmpStr.length);

  activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData = xmpStr;

  if (activeDocument.info.instructions.length > 0) {
    return false;
  }

 } else {

 activeDocument.info.instructions = inString;
 
 }

 return true;
 
}

remove the instructions as a work around would remove any user instructions and be a bug not a work around. Adding garbage is a work around for the normal case where the field is empty.  The  work around has an undesired side effect it will leave behind Garbage.  And as you point out dirty the document the first time they are edited.  That in no big deal for new document for they will be dirty soon anyway. Old document will be made dirty when garbage need to be added.

One last try: The actual bug is this: activeDocument.info.instructions = ""; // does not work if there is a current string of 1 or more characters for instructions, the workaround is my Set function above

So your answer  is every script that resets a field back to their original state must test to  see if that state is "" and if it is should use your function to get around Adobe bug.  That is poor solution with the event handler work around scripts do not need to be scanned to see if they need to be recorded  to program around Adobe's Bug. No script change is needed.  You are correct "The actual bug is this: activeDocument.info.instructions = ""; // does not work if there is a current string of 1 or more characters for instructions" That should work it worked in prior version of Photoshop.  The proper solution is to fix that bug.   Why did Adobe brake the code?

Official Response  "(deleting a byline, description, or copyright is BAD)."
Jeff That means  Adobe Photoshop is bad  Save For Web does that and Phot shop file info editor let one change that information to whatever one wants.  When can we expect to see Adobe fix these issues?

Jeff If deleting a byline, description, or copyright is BAD why does Photoshop File Info support doing that or let me change theirs to mine. 

This Adobe designer bug is easy to program around,  I just add Garbage to the Metadata info field if Garbage is not there with an open document event handler,  Then my scripts can use the info field as a scratch pad and insert and remove their information correctly.  The scripts will be able to restore the field so their data will be removed not left there by Adobe's designer bug Adobe allows it to be set to Garbage.   Adobe needs a better design process.  Every new release of Photoshop seems to add new bugs one needs to work around.  Adobe needs to treat their customers better Photoshop's quality is sliding downhill.

This is a bug it brakes existing scripts that have worked for years and are distributed free to many Adobe users.  The only way I can work around Adobe bug is by distributing the Garbage.jsx new and  Open Document event handler for use My scripts use the field as a  scratch pad area the insert and remove their own data.    When the bug bites data is not removed that should be removed and brakes the script.  Adobe allows the field to be set back to garbage so the scripts can continue to remover their data.  The is no need to for me to search all the scripts on my system to find the one the use that field and change their code.   I can not change the code on the Adobe  Photoshop users machines for I do not have a list of them or access to their machines.   Adobe should remove the new designer's bug. Introduce two releases ago.

This is a normal part of developing software. APIs change and sometimes break your code. Sorry, JJ, but you come across as way too angry here. Use the sample code that was generously provided to deal with the API change and quit ranting.

All this theard is alike to mine where Adobe changed some important behaviour that always worked for over 20 years, so I understand you John McAssey. That's why I don't use last release but still CS6 EXTENDED. In my case that's something that they are aware of but seems don't care to fix it if that wasn't done yet (taking into account that bug started with CC 2018):
