update-via-pacman ends with a `conflicting files` for the `scalar.exe` files

Not sure if this is the right repo to report the issue... Which has happened in two contexts in the last day or so.
Initially, when compiling (via sdk build git-and-installer) a PR to test it, I had this error. I renamed the files out of the way and re-tried - same error.
Now I tried the update-via-pacman.bat in a CMD window and got the same error. The results are below, with the boring bits trimmed.
I'm guessing that some update relating to scalar isn't quite synchronised yet and the conflict shouldn't happen. Just not sure where to look/start. Any clues?

$
remaned (via explorer) both to scalar0.exe
$ sdk build git-and-installer
--> same fail!

This is expected. If you install Git other than via Pacman, there is always an opportunity to put files in a place where Pacman does not expect them and refuses to overwrite them (under the premise that they had not previously been installed via Pacman, and that Pacman therefore is not at liberty to simply overwrite them).
I renamed the files out of the way and re-tried - same error.
That is strange because it always works for me. Try this at home:
$ rm /mingw64/bin/scalar.exe /mingw64/libexec/git-core/scalar.exe && pacman -SuPhilipOakley commented
Try this at home:
$ rm /mingw64/bin/scalar.exe /mingw64/libexec/git-core/scalar.exe && pacman -Su
So that worked, and so did a follow up CMD C:\git-sdk-64>update-via-pacman.bat, so resolved, cause unknown 😉
Maybe the other bash window I probably had open (the regular MSYS one, not an SDK one) could have somehow interacted with those scalar.exe 's.
