With Emacs master:

   commit d213cf0400ee5cad2e7f4626745fd97b942ff5e9

   Date:   Thu Jun 18 19:15:05 2015 -0400

but not Emacs 24.5, I see Emacs wipe out my custom-set-variables when I start Emacs, as it sets package-selected-packages for the first time:

(NB: I symlink this init.el to .emacs)

These messages don't appear when starting Emacs 24.5.

Also note, my init.el calls package-initialize and package-install directly. The writes to init.el occur during a call to (package-install 'goto-chg), which is not installed.
