This bug is fixed in newer versions of the ROM. There was always a
workaround. The other DBs were only deleted if the Launcher was
active on the other device before you sent the application. So if you
exit the launcher on the receiving device before you beam an
application to it, the associated database files will not be deleted
on any device with any ROM.
There was a bug on older ROMs where the launcher would go through
its normal logic for deleting an application with all its data if the
launcher was active when a copy of an existing application was beamed
to it.
