I'm not gonna say no :)

The problem is a bit broader than just this exact instance.
In general we don't clean up build artifacts to take advantage 
of incremental builds. So when files move or get renamed the old
artifacts are left in place occasionally causing issues.

I wonder what the best fix is. Feels like wiping the tree clean
periodically (once a day or two?) could be best? Something like 
creating a local file, once that file is more than 2 days old
wipe the tree pristine clean by all means possible, and then
create the file again?
