I tried to see how this works for debugedit, since it uses the make
check steps too, and I noticed that the files are also not preserved
there.  I've come up with the conclusion that it works there because
buildbot will watch a file specified in logfiles= in a build step, so it
doesn't matter whether it gets deleted.  See:
https://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/configuration/steps/shell_command.html

This feels somewhat fragile, but it has worked for a while this way, I
suppose.

That answers that.

Thanks!  Have a great day.
