This is not a bug. Permission to delete a file is not determined by the permissions of the file, but by the permissions of the directory that the file resides in. Typically, if you don't want to delete your own files, you would change the directory to read-only (chmod a-w); if you don't want others to delete your files from a public directory, such as /tmp, then the directory should have the restricted deletion flag set (chmod +t). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
