Defacement?

If you build a wall on an engraved tile, does the engraver throw a tantrum?

I've not actually tried it but i do know that constructing a floor tile over a smoothed floor will remove the smoothing and thus probably the engraving too.
So i guess you've got to make the engraver really happy and wreck his masterworks one by one.
That ARE masterworks right?
Or you just kill the engraver...
Or station guards next to him and then wreck his work.

He doesn't necessarily throw a tantrum, but he does get a bad thought from it.  Last night I saw a message along the lines of "A foolish mason has defaced a masterwork of Kogan McDwarf!" because I was building constructed floors over engraved natural stone floors.  I haven't specifically proven it yet, but I see no reason that building floors over engravings would deface engravings, while building walls wouldn't.
