It's not dead, it's just resting...
This and related issues have been rumbling on for years:

For xml files a hitherto secret 'solution' is to add forcecreate="False"
to every record you don't want updated. Without this deleted records
will be recreated even with noupdate="True".

For csv files I just comment out all the files I don't want updating in
__openerp__.py after the first install. This is obviously not
satisfactory for modules that other people might use.

The official position seems to be that you should make a separate module containing all your post-installation modifications using the module-recorder so you can reapply them after an update.
This requires that you:
1) remember to make a new module before every update
2) remember which objects you have modified, or know which ones will be overwritten
3) are smart enough to figure this out for yourself before the first time you update or you're screwed.

On the upside it means that __openerp__.py can be simplified. Big win!
