It did exactly what is was designed to do - except the file had not been
provided by an installed desktop-base but had been put there by me. This
has, to my knowledge, never happened to me before. What should be my
expectation if I install files outside of $HOME or /usr/local?

Indeed, provided I notice their disappearence.  But should I placed in
that situation?
