The thought was old to me back in Mar 2007, at this point I have no
recollection whatsoever of when and where I saw it.

According to Hebrew Wikipedia's entry "Tefillas Ne'illah"
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%AA%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%AA_%D7%A0%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%94

Ending Yom Kippur with "lehsnah haba'ah biYrushalayim" is primarily an
East European minyag, and the addition of "habenuyah" is a Tziyoni
addition.

I was also inclined to answer "when?" with 1967 CE.
