Here is the info from the Lee Gibson column "Clarinalysis" from The Clarinet- Volume 14 No 1, Fall 1986
"Leblanc-Kenosha has apparently believed that it is frequently desirable to rebore the interiors of clarinets after they have been brought to this country and their dimensions have stabilized in our generally warmer and drier climate. This writer recently measured several Leblanc LX soprano Bb clarinets, which have been advertised as having a bore of 14.6mm, at an actual bore of about 14.73mm at their smallest (above the center joint). The LX A that I measured was actually sized at 14.6mm, and, as it happened, the latter instrument impressed me as an extraordinarily fine one."
So no mention of LL being rebored. I don't know of another reference to this outside of "urban myth", and don't know the source of Gibson's information (other than his measuring of clarinets).
