It shouldn't. Try this:

mkdir repo && cd repo
git init
echo foo >foo
git add .
git commit -m initial
rm foo
echo bar >bar
git add .
git commit -a

'bar' is scheduled for addition, and 'foo' is scheduled for deletion.
Have you perhaps removed a file, but it's still in the working
directory, and so picked up by your git-add? Can you give us a test
case?

Yes, it should. :)
