I think I found the culprit -- the script /usr/sbin/postinst contains:
if [ -f /core ]
then
echo Moving /core to /usr/tmp/core.postinst_detected
mv /core /usr/tmp/core.postinst_detected
fi
The script is run out of /etc/init.d/postinst, which is invoked both at
start-up and shutdown. It's intended to clean up after an installation.
