Thanks for bringing an understanding to the problem, casting light on it.
But I think there is just something fundamentally too risky doing rm -rf <anything> as root. So we will have to find a better way. I have wanted to support installing on linux into home, i.e. ~, and this would remove the need to install as root, or ever becoming it. So I think the real solution will have to wait a couple of weeks. We can install into home, and let the distro managers install where they want to.
