I've had this problem copying regular Sage at times too... not
reliably, but Singular vs. singular I think may have been the problem
at the time.  In fact, since the files in local/bin seem to have
copied in alphabetical order, and the last three files copied seem to
have been Singular, Singular-3-1-0, and TSingular (this last being out
of order for some reason, but no others I can tell), I wouldn't be
surprised if that were causing the trouble again.

At least for testing, that would certainly be a good idea.

This did not happen.

Thanks - I think this definitely is well on the way to awesomeness.
If that is a word.
