I'm thinking of cases where you might be checking books before a Merge: a book might be open in a reader (perhaps to check contents) then the record for that book is Merged into another record - or Windows has the source folder open (perhaps by clicking the Open folder button or using "O"). In both cases, Calibre would be unable to delete the folder and leave it hanging around. DB integrity checks would show nothing and all would appear correct during use, but the leftover folder/files would remain after a library Move.
For what it's worth, not a chance. Some of these hadn't been touched since last November. And in my case, the problem wasn't that some extra stuff got left behind and copied over, but rather that some stuff that was supposed to move didn't.
