Did you acquire the package context before or after the uninstall?

If before, it's eminently possible that Android is indeed keeping a
record of processes holding package contexts and is only deleting the
data once those processes have terminated. It is also possible that
it's simply a question of time, that the package data is not deleted
immediately upon uninstall but some moments later, and that requests
from a package context will succeed in the interim.

If you acquired the package context *after* the uninstall... please
contact me off-list.
