If you tell mdev to manage the /dev directory, and the kernel says that the node went away, mdev will delete it. If you're saying the kernel will say a node went away when it didn't actually go away, that would be a kernel bug. You don't seem to understand how mdev is for. Maybe you want to be using something other than mdev, rather than complicating mdev? And you haven't given a real-world example of where this is actually causing you a problem... I'm confused...
