That Wikipedia link has a reference to the relocation of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse [1]. The way the article is written, it sounds like the light characteristic didn't change when it was moved.
I don't have any pre-1999 charts of the area to confirm the old characteristic, but that's surprising if true. It's one thing to have a bit of a Google Maps snafu when a building moves, but relocating a lighthouse and keeping its characteristic the same seems like it's just asking for groundings.
