Huh.  I wonder why that happened.  I would expect setup.exe to just
overwrite one file, resulting in the change being reflected in the
linked copy.

I'm no longer familiar enough with setup's internals to say for sure
if that is what happening but it does appear that the file is being
deleted.  That behavior could probably be changed with an appropriate
PTC.
