Well, this is kind of interesting. alice-whacker is (or was) missing
/var/preserve/vi.recover entirely. rpm -Va said, among other things:
missing /var/preserve/vi.recover
So something must be nuking the directory. I think the culprit is our
own /etc/athena/clean_tmp_areas. Thanks for reporting this.
