This is in-fact how P2 works. When uninstalling a feature p2 updates its profile and removes the bundle references related to that feature from the bundles.info file. The related bundles are not deleted from the plugins folder. When you try to reinstall that feature (same feature id and version) if the relevant artifacts already exists at the client side (eg: in the plugins folder) P2 will not attempt to download them again.
I don't know if we can override this behavior for this particular case. May be the (un)deployer may have to do some extra work at the uninstallation.
