UpdateDocument deletes the actual file

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of EPiServer Community - 4.0 I have the folling code:

var clone = (Document)currentDocument.Clone();
clone.Body = "test";
DocumentArchiveHandler.Instance.UpdateDocument(clone);

After the update, however, the file is deleted from the file system. I see that there is an entry in the UpdateDocument method in the DocumentArchiveFactory class which says "File.Delete(document.PhysicalPath)". Why UpdateDocument deletes the file. Is there something which I've missed? How can I update an existing file without the need to readd it?

I found out that FrameworkFactoryBase.UpdateEntity(document) actually updates the document entitiy without deleting the real file. And this fits perfectly in my scenario.
