If “fossil server” or “fossil ui” is still running in the background, then I 
would fully expect the WAL and SHM files to still be around.  The worrying case 
is when they’re left behind after the SQLite-based process that created them 
has died.

If it’s the case that there are no active Fossil instances while those files 
are on disk, then yes, it’s good to report this, because it means the SQLite DB 
connection isn’t being shut down properly.
