Obviously??  It is actually true: /var/tmp/temproot actually is deleted
afterwards (at least for a recent -stable).

What mergemaster does when deleting is the following:

rm -rf
chflags -R
rm -rf

The only problem is that those diagnostics from 'rm' might be a bit
misleading and/or annoying but everything works fine.
