So, both recordmcount and the new recordudiv program are idempotent. They check if the to-be-added section is already present and do nothing. So the result is correct even with CCACHE_HARDLINK, just the intermediate file might be incorrect. If this still is considered an issue, I suggest clearing CCACHE_HARDLINK when using any of these postprocessors, so as not to penalize other use cases. The perl recordmcount does not modify the file in place.
