Yes, that's true, because actually deleting a recording which may consist
of several GB of data can take a while, and if there's a recording going on
at that time there may be buffer overflows. Therefore VDR tries to do
this when it has nothing else to do.

But I agree that if renaming a recording to *.del it should first check
if there is already such a name and physically remove it.

I'll change it that way...
