I asked on the mailing list and go a much more rapid response.

For some reason I had a fixed hard-code directory
rather than the default:

${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/builds

I must have tweaked this very early on when I installed and not touched it since.
For extra paranoia I've now changed this to:

${ITEM_ROOTDIR}/builds/${ITEM_FULLNAME}

So far things look promising.

I am therefore re-purposing this issue as a request to make the location of build histories more obvious. Perhaps a link or something in a help bubble could be added to the configuration page for a job in the section containing:

Discard Old Builds
Days to keep builds
Days to keep artifacts
Max # of builds to keep with artifacts

This is where I would expect to see the location of the build history displayed if it were independently configured per job rather than globally (that may make sense but is not a feature I require myself and is possibly a YAGNI).
