What I'm suggesting is that you might add a startup item like

umount /Volumes/Applications
mount -t hfs -w /dev/diskXsY /Applications

Where X and Y correspond to the right partition for your apps partition.

That way there would be no softlink for Apple's installer to munge. The only way for it to write something to the wrong place should be to first unmount the disk, then write the files onto the same partition as /.
