If the directory contains two bundles files then FileInstall installs both
bundles, unless:
a) Both bundles are the same BSN and version, OR
b) The bundle is marked as a singleton, meaning only one version is
permitted to be present.
If you want FileInstall to update the *same* bundle, then you should
replace the file with a new one that has the same filename.

Your expectation is wrong. The configuration feature of FileInstall is
meant to work with the OSGi Configuration Admin service.
