Here we go with report back as requested. Drove from Devon via Dorchester and Bournemouth to London, lots of mobile camera warnings, far fewer fixed installations except for Bournemouth, where there is an infestation of them! Some dual carriageway in the west.
The PGPSW database warns of mobile cameras, banner comes out with details. Sometimes (say 70%), some few seconds later, a second banner appears saying " xxx mph. Speed camera warning" and a female voice utters the immortal words "Caution. Slow down". It does not happen anywhere as often on single-track roads. Not dependent upon actual speed.
Kremmen asked me to check my installation. The vast bulk of my data is on the intenal storage, the remainder is on the external card. There is 1 x GPX file, one GPI file (yours) and a few other POIs that have remained unchanged for months (NT, etc). Model is nuvi 2599.
Will try to get some answers from Garmin.
All the best

I had a similar problem with a female voice saying "caution - slowdown" on my Driveluxe 50 LMT-D but only when I enabled the separate overspeed warning in the CSV to GPX converter utility. It only occurred in a few places as well (one round the corner from where I live) and I was nowhere near the speed limit, having just turned left at a small roundabout (a possible explanation was that it was occurring because I was accelerating). Not sure if this is related to what you are getting or not.

It was the Overspeed setting. I untitled the item and the messages stopped. I never received any response from Garmon whatsoever regarding Speed Scout. I just ignore the option, now I know where it is set.
Thanks, as ever, for everyone''s help.
