Fatal flaw in 3.26 wiping out user dir during install

[Bobby]

When installing 3.26 over a working distro it does not properly protect exisiting users.

During install if you choose to add an additional user (besides the main user) which already exisits it will delete the dir and create a new one. Obviously it should give a warning and not just wipe it out.

? I have tried multiple times at re-adding a user created /home and it hasn't whiped it out, I just cannot get it to happen, but I'll keep trying

I started with a FC6, user bobby, and then installed Sabayon. Wiped all but /home partition.
During the first install I used bobby as the main user. Realizing that there's a conflict with KDE settings I nstalled again, this time using rob as the main and bobby as the added user.
When I logged in as bobby all was gone.

During these test I never did anything much more than logging in.

I had the thought that I might have wiped the home partition the second time, except that all the other home directories were still there.
