custom-script upgrade deletes /var/lib/waagent/custom-script

It seems that after 2.1.7 was released, if there is a lesser version in the VM beforehand (in our case 2.1.6), the agent would uninstall the lesser version at startup and delete /var/lib/waagent/custom-script, which includes the new script that needs to be run.

Details:
Our setup is that we create a VM that runs a script using the custom script extension. The VM is converted into an Azure Compute Gallery image version, which is used for VMSS deployment in multiple regions. The VMSS deployment has a different script that we run using the custom script extension. The image version already has custom script extension installed (2.1.6) and the VMSS deployment is deployed in a region with a higher version (2.1.7). When the VMSS is deployed, the VMSS script is not run because the 2.1.6 version is uninstalled and deletes /var/lib/waagent/custom-script which includes the VMSS script, before 2.1.7 can run the script.

Is this intended? What would be the fix for this?
