I've been complaining about this for weeks. I finally got things to stop messing up by putting the M*y in the package directory and putting a symlink to it in the source directory. Then the xh-* doesn't move the one under the package directory to source, and if I change the one under the package directory the xh-* notices when it looks at the version under source. I think Bill finally agreed to have xh-* stop moving the M*y from the package to the source directory, but I'm leaving my symlinks there anyway, since I don't trust any of this stuff.
