I think there might be a bug with symlinks somewhere. When applications try to replace dlls that are really symlinks to $prefix, things go spooky sometimes... anyone else seen that or am I making things up?
Yes, if you have write access to the symlink target then the app can modify the builtin dll, which isn't so good... The right solution would be to do a copy, but copying all the builtins is a bit wasteful.
