Thanks for the answer, Bob!
I understand your concern.
Is this variant any better:
FileA.txt (the one installed by the patch)
FileA.txt.old (the one with user customizations, backed up)
FileB.dll (the new one installed by the patch)
?
I think it can be accomplished by populating the MoveFile table before
the new files overwrite the old ones...
Does this make sense?

I'm not a patching guru, but I highly doubt that's going to be possible.
The resource (file) would no longer represent how it's defined in the
component.
