Comment:
The scripts don't run at the stage where your update aborts, this is the file conflict/obsolete files detection where its still safe to abort the update since nothing is actually changed (or deleted in this case, xbps in this case just counts files it tracks and sees that there is one file too much and aborts since it won't be able to delete that file without deleting userdata).
When the scripts run they change the system, they can't run safely at that stage because then aborting the update/installation might have changed things unexpectedly.
