On newer installs using APFS, I think the rules are different, but I haven't followed the details. I'm not sure if this is a red herring (after all, I'd expect 540 such files on HFS) or if some of the files are somehow special for APFS (I looked for obvious things like collisions after normalization, but didn't see any). I agree it would help to know which 4 files. :) -Peff
