One of the patches in the KoboPatcher collection changes the dicthtml strings in libnickel.so.1.0.0 to micthtml. With that patch in place, save your dictionaries as micthtml*.zip which is supposed to prevent them from being overwritten. At least that's what I read into ps67's post #511 in this thread.


Code:
Change dicthtml strings to micthtml:
  - Enabled: no
  - Description: |
      This patch is used for something to do with syncing and custom dictionaries.
      If you don't know what it does, then you probably don't need it.
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "%1/dicthtml%2\0", Replace: "%1/micthtml%2\0"} # null is needed to not match %1/dicthtml%2.zip
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "dicthtml\0",      Replace: "micthtml\0"}      # null is needed to not match dicthtml*
  - FindReplaceString: {Find: "/mnt/onboard/.kobo/dict/dicthtml%1", Replace: "/mnt/onboard/.kobo/dict/micthtml%1"}
