I can confirm it. For those of you with scientific minds I'll describe
my test procedure for you to poke holes in.  ;)

I just build a couple of dummy 'test' packages, test1 and test2, that
simulated the 'file moving between packages' bug in 3999.

I performed my tests both with pacman -U and with pacman -S using a
local gensync'd repo.

test1 pkgver1: contains the file /test1.txt, with contents "This file
is owned by test1"
test2 pkgver1: contains the file /test1.txt, with contents "This file
is owned by test2"
test1 pkgver2: contains only the file /test2.txt, and depends on test2

So, essentially, I installed test1 pkgver1, then "upgraded" to test1
pkgver2, which pulled in the test2 dependency.  The file /test1.txt in
this example "moved" from test1 to test2 in this upgrade - this is the
behaviour I assumed in the bug report that was causing the problems.

After installing test1 pkgver2, _both_ files /test1.txt and /test2.txt
properly exist in the filesystem, and the contents of /test1.txt are
"This file is owned by test2" -  a successful upgrade!

For those of you who I've confused with this description, here's some
console output: 

$ pacman -S test1

$ pacman -Ql test1 test2

$ cat /test1.txt

So, looks like it's golden.  Yay!  (Added this to the FS report too,
for completion's sake)
