If Lucene does not in fact postpone the deletion, that would explain the exception I'm seeing ("java.io.IOException: couldn't delete _a.f1") - the IndexWriter is attempting to delete the files but the IndexReader has them open.
Does this then mean that re-indexing whilst searching is inherently unsafe,
but only on Windows?
