The reason for this is a change introduced in 20250626-131 which renamed directories into symlinks and runs as a pretrans script:
# ls -ld /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad10{3,4,6,7}
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 Jun 5 18:50 /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 -> ad102
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 Jun 5 18:50 /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 -> ad102
