Jim,

A short program that demonstrates the issue would be helpful. 

I just tried in C and couldn't make it to fail (probably haven't try hard :-)

#include "hdf5.h"
#define FILE "dset.h5"

int main() {

   hid_t       file_id, dataset_id, dataspace_id;  /* identifiers */
   hsize_t     dims[2];
   herr_t      status;


   /* Create the data space for the dataset. */
   dims[0] = 4; 
   dims[1] = 6; 
   dataspace_id = H5Screate_simple(2, dims, NULL);

   /* Create a new file using default properties. */
   file_id = H5Fcreate(FILE, H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT);

   /* Create the dataset. */
   dataset_id = H5Dcreate2(file_id, "/dset", H5T_STD_I32BE, dataspace_id, 
                          H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT);

   status = H5Dclose(dataset_id);

   /* Delete the dataset. */
   H5Ldelete (file_id, "/dset", H5P_DEFAULT);
   H5Fflush(file_id, H5F_SCOPE_GLOBAL);

   dataset_id = H5Dcreate2(file_id, "/dset", H5T_STD_I32BE, dataspace_id, 
                          H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT);
   status = H5Dclose(dataset_id);

   status = H5Sclose(dataspace_id);
   status = H5Fclose(file_id);
}
