I think this is a bigger deal than it sounds like when you consider cut and paste, or just moving files. The writing would've been thought to be done even if the cache is still flushing, so it deletes the source files, but the write can still fail after the source files are deleted. The device could fail, it could be unplugged, you might kick it by accident, or have a power outage.
