I think this is working as expected. See bug 1728530 comment 2 and 3. FWIW running through the steps to reproduce you will periodically be prompted to install again, particularly if you unmount the .dmg. We won't nag you every time though.

Feel free to reopen if you want to discuss further, atrif. Thanks for reporting.
