I have just updated a box from base-files-4.0-6 to 4.0-9 and
everything worked as expected. I tried both with locally modified and
unmodified skel files.

$ grep base-files /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.*
/etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bash_profile:# base-files version 4.0-9
/etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc:# base-files version 4.0-9
/etc/defaults/etc/skel/.inputrc:# base-files version 4.0-9
/etc/defaults/etc/skel/.profile:# base-files version 4.0-9

The process of checking wether the files have to be replaced has not
changed since 4.0-4 (march 2011) at least. And IIRC, it was barely the
same in the 3.x version as well.

If reinstalling fails as well, does an error get printed?
