No, we wanted to make sure that you were in fact installing on top, rather than removing and reinstalling. The latter will remove all the package's files, including ones marked for preservation. The former is the correct way to upgrade packages. Of course, this doesn't help us find an answer to your problem -- when I construct a repository with a package with two versions each containing a file marked preserve=true (or strawberry), that file is preserved on upgrade if I've made modifications to it. Can you create a simple test case that reproduces the problem, so that we can? And just to be sure what version of pkg(5) are you running?
