And if this file is an exact copy of the one in the repo, why would you 
care?

I still have some trouble understanding why you need to copy those files 
at all. Apart from the fact that Install() might be better suited 
anyway, wouldn't simply referencing the files with "${SOURCE.rsrcpath}", 
in the Builder where they are actually used, cut the mustard?
