I just ran into an opposite but also surprising behavior: if you have
more kernels installed than installonly_limit, anything else you try to
do (like upgrade, install, or erase an related package) will cause
the older kernels to be removed.

In my example, I attempt to install a package that's already
installed, which you would think would be a no-op, but... isn't.
