The report comes from Bloomberg, who says Apple themselves requested the plant for “urgent capacity”, likely because displays are the one thing Apple can’t manufacture quickly enough to meet iPhone demand.

Quitting and re-opening iTunes fixes things, but yeah, this never happened under Mavericks and literally the only change I’ve done is upgrade to Yosemite.
