Plugin update deleted another plugin set by nspluginwrapper

Is it expcted that an automatic update of a browser plugin deletes plugins set up by nspluginrapper ?!
Or is it a bug? If so on what?

Suddenly my security plugin for Firefox did not work.
I tracked it to an automatic update of flash browser plugin;
Updating flash-player-plugin makes libplugins.so loose the wrapper!
# nspluginwrapper -l
listed nothing, so i "rewrapped" it again like when i installed it:
# nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so
And it is working again.
The plugin is for BankID, viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4384

Confirmed the behaviour on another computer, only updating flash-player-plugin

Probably a bug with nspluginwrapper, or specifically with one of the filetriggers /var/lib/rpm/filetriggers/nspluginwrapper.*
