As it turns out, it was extremely easy to test, and I was right. The
random file (I made an aaa.txt file) was removed when I updated the
theme.

No bugs here. It works the way I thought it did. Upgrading themes
removes the whole theme directory before unpacking the new theme.
Files added to a theme will be removed too.
