Add-on not working after XF upgrades, has to be reinstalled

Your watch_threads_all template is being overwritten during upgrades which is exactly the expected behavior. To modify core templates, you don't just overwrite them in your add-on.
You're supposed to use template hooks or similar to inject your changes into the existing template.

Thanks muchly for this. However, there doesn't appear to be any hooks in the watch_threads_all template ... What can I do then?
Hooks are no longer required in 1.2 with the TM system.

Ah, thank you Brogan. The template hooks were giving me a headache (fairly lengthy tutorials etc), and I suspect this will be much easier. (I've briefly used the TMS add-on in the past, and this looks similar.)
Yeah, the TM system is much more appropriate now.
Aside from that, though, you can also try the template_post_render event which allows you to modify the rendered template directly in PHP. Very similar to template hooks.
But it's great that we don't have to use those anymore
