From texlinks it seems it does have specific mf knowledge:
case $src in
*/mf)
if test $dest = "mf-nowin" && test -f $selfautoloc/mfw; then
dest="mfw"
verbose_echo "both mfw and mf-nowin exists, $src linked to
$dest"
fi
;;
esac
Reading texlinks more it seems to be intended behaviour and the --
silent flag can make it shut up about binaries already there.
