Oh, they probably just used the DSN to blast out a much more powerful signal than usual, strong enough for Vger to detect. Meanwhile, in about fifty thousand years an alien civilization will pick up a mysterious signal that, when finally decoded, will amount to “Turn left!”

I think it’s more surprising that it felt the need to report it was on its expected trajectory.    Well, yes, anything else would have been near miraculous.    
 

(Read in the voice of Eddie the Computer) “Hey Guys!   While you weren’t looking and then told me to turn left, I did!    I’m coming home!”

Yes.

Spoiler

The real Voyagers have gone forty years ago, but we'll remain the signals as long as their spirits have enough ectoplasma.
