So this would be my guess:
The first time you invoked userdel, it removed the user from the
system (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow) but didn't delete
the home folder because according to lastlog the user was still logged
in. When you invoked it a second time, it failed because the user no
longer exists -- after all, it deleted the entries from the various
system files. Which left you with all the files in the home folder ...
Either way, this sounds like a problem with userdel which, if you can
recreate it, needs to be reported as a bug.
BTW where should i report it any idea, no pointers in the man.
