Persona Management : deleted directories come back to life

Has anybody seen this before?

We use non persistent link clones with Persona Management for the profile.  Sometimes if you delete a directory in the profile it simply comes back 2 seconds later. It will go away if you stop the persona management service before deleteing. The problem also does not happen if you delete the equivalent directory on the network repository before deleting the local copy. So the link between the problem and persona management is quite obvious. How and when it happens is not clear.

one example is a thinapp sandbox (in appdata\roaming). We sometimes want to delete a snadbox during troubleshooting ... and oups ... it comes back.

Another example is trying to get a user to delete his dropbox directory (c:\users\bob\dropbox) after telling him to uninstall dropbox. Ths directory will just come back.

This is not a reassuring sight because we don't how,  when and why it happens and can only imagine what is can do a to some software that try to delete directories in their normal use...

I have an open case with Vmware but am not getting much feedback.
