I have tried now to reproduce this by copying an image by a script to an empty 
album and deleting that afterwards. I was _not_ able to reproduce the problem 
with this test.
This may mean that my system does not have this problem, or the test case does 
not trigger it. (I tried often enough to consider the result as significant 
for the proposed 10% occurrence).

Do you usually encounter this when digikam is busy with copying or changing of 
other files, or also when nothing else is active?
