This is the result of a historical oversight. This one symbol should be defined 
as an extended character with two keyword forms "%sqsubset%" (to match the 
LaTeX manual) and "%refinedby% (which is what it is called in the Compliance 
Notation, i.e., DAZ), unfortunately it hasn't been done like that and DAZ does 
exactly what you do and defines a separate extended character. Nothing will 
misbehave given what you have done except that you have two extended characters 
that are logically distinct but will print identically. I thought I had fixed 
this, but it doesn't seem to have got into the release, so I will add it to my 
list of things to do.

No, the build should have done it properly for you! See above.
