Does this happen in "emacs -Q"? If this doesn't happen in "emacs -Q",
you should look for some customization of yours that causes this; in
particular, Emacs by default never writes old versions of files to the
Recycled directory.
If "emacs -Q" also shows this behavior, my suggestion is to try
setting the option backup-by-copying to a non-nil value.
