Yes, it is still happening.  Though I haven't 
given it much attention because when news.daily 
runs it fixes it.  Then at some point during the 
day I get more of the same out put and then when 
news.daily runs again it cleans it up 
again.  Kind of a never ending circle :-).

I had been thinking about "delayrm".  I have 
never used "lowmark" during expires but when I 
upgraded to INN 2.5 I also changed to CNFS with 
groupbaseexpiry set to false.  Though I do have a 
expire flag of "-N" set since there are a few 
local buffers I wish to expire off sooner.

In all my reading on CNFS and groupbaseexpiry 
false left me with the impression that I should 
use: "lowmark" and that "delayrm" uses the -z 
flag which is ignored if groupbaseexpiry is 
false.  So that suggested to me that putting 
"delayrm" would be ignored and would work and I 
wasn't sure if taking out "lowmark" would mess things up.

The nice thing I like about using the delayrm and 
groupbaseexpiry true, is in the news.daily report 
I would get a report on: Overview index dropped 
along with the report on Articles drop/expired, 
etc.  It seems in the "lowmark" groupbaseexpiry 
false setup it doesn't tell me how much Overview 
was drop (see below).  But based on seeing the 
size of the nov dir. decreasing after news.daily 
I know overview is being drop, just would be nice 
to have it included with details in the report.
