Correct. The file name is highly confusing (many people think it's related
to some rootkit). Probably it should be called .fuse_deleted. Fixing this
issue is on the TODO but it's not very trivial.

that it's unsafe with NTFS-3G. We will review this again.

No. But please find a patch below which should do what you would like. Use
it at your own risk and please let us know how it works. If you find no

Don't let Windows to lock the files.

No. You did everything fine.
