From what I understand when I patched the source to allow the Corine Land Cover huge import sometimes ago, bulk_upload does what it's told. That is if you feed it a standard OSM file, it add the features. If you want to add/change/delete, you have to use the changeset syntax which enclose data in blocks that explicitely tell if you want to add/ update/delete the features in that block.
