I think I'll just make a new image and move all the files over. It's really disturbing to me that the OS can start making judgments about what files it can trash without warning. FWIW, I thought that perhaps Apple thought that dot-files/folders could be expendable, and I have some of them because of using git for version control. But, alas, they aren't nearly big enough.
