Would still be cool to get to the bottom of it. I would be surprised if
Installer had
anything to do with it, since it copied much larger files, like the swap file
by accident,
I rather suspect the new cache, but that's written by Ingo, so also quite
unlikely to
contain any errors... :-). Also the proposed fix pretty much excludes Installer
from being
responsible, it points rather directly at an issue on the filesystem level
(write overlay,
cache...).
Best regards,
