Paul's suggestions are certainly most valuable and they provide a solution.
On the other hand, it would be very enjoyable if we could just use Finder
as it was designed, and not being permanently working it around.
I think that your problem is not that the function is not complete, but
that somehow Finder did not perform all the updates it had to.
There is a very mysterious "update" verb in Finder. Its entry in the
dictionary lets think about a purely cosmetic update. Personally, I would
try updating, either the file(s) (newly in Trash), or the Trash itself. I
have not tried at all. But I cannot imagine that Finder would accept to:
-------------------------
update alias "Macintosh HD:Trash:NewlyTrashedFileName"
-------------------------
and then pretend that the file is not in the trash.
