Here's the workaround I wrote. I'm submitting it to the list because I
would like feedback as to what could go wrong. I'm way out of my API
comfort zone at this point, and calling unlink() makes me a little
hesitant :-). I have tested the code; it works correctly for me.

Don't do it. Your users will love you the first time you delete a file that shouldn't have been deleted, or at least they will once they finally work out that it's you.

You want an answer from DTS (or Jim Magee if he's listening right now) as to why the file isn't being deleted. The hack you're proposing is just Bad.
