latexmlc --dest=.epub deletes log file

[teepeemm]

Starting with a minimal file.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
content
\end{document}

Then:

> latexmlc --dest=file.html file
latexmlc (LaTeXML version 0.8.8; revision cb2f810a)

Conversion complete: No obvious problems
Post-processing complete: No obvious problems

> ls
file.html		file.latexml.log	file.tex		LaTeXML.css		ltx-article.css
> latexmlc --dest=file.epub file
latexmlc (LaTeXML version 0.8.8; revision cb2f810a)
processing started Sat Jun 27 12:41:38 2026
Conversion complete: No obvious problems
Post-processing complete: No obvious problems
Status:conversion:0
> ls
file.epub	file.html	file.tex	LaTeXML.css	ltx-article.css

Not only has latexmlc not created a log file, it actually deleted the existing one.
