I _swear_ I've seen this go by before, but can't find it. Let's say I have removed _all_ documents from my index that mention a particular field (dynamic in this case). Merging segments apparently does not remove that data from the merged segment, and the extra information survives restarts, optimizations and all that. I did get it to work by chance when I had a single segment, and updated _all_ the docs in that segment without the extra fields so some quick tests will succeed if you're not careful.
Usually, the answer is "who cares? A field or two "extra" won't have any effect". In this case, though, there are over 20K extra dynamic fields added mistakenly (which is why I like to remove dynamic field definitions from solr when possible). This is true on 5x.
