Comment(by mmlr):

 After looking a bit more closely the wrong content in linkcatkeys seems to
 be part of a preprocessed source file judging for the "# <line> <header>"
 lines present. The partition this happens on is a separate non-indexed BFS
 partition where I keep all the source, so it is unlikely that a
 preprocessed file would just happen to be there (as all of that usually
 goes to the /tmp dirs on /boot). So to me it looks like that the content
 of a different file is actually written back to this one and it not being
 just a previously freed BFS block which isn't fully overwritten. The drive
 was in use previously, but the content I see there (localekit, icu) has
 not been integrated back then I think, so I'm pretty sure it's no leftover
 from that either.
