I have played around with some more. It is more complicated than the simple case I described. Earlier I noticed a message about applying a patch that was empty that shouldn't have been. I checked and the patch is indeed empty. The empty patch probably caused the files to be left. I had been using hide/unide and reordering with on the patch and had encountered a couple errors in stg. I'll try and track down the sequence that caused the contents of the patch to be lost.
