Yes, IndexWriter.updateDocument() deletes and then adds. See the javadocs. So your index will have deleted docs. Why do you care? They'll go away eventually as segments get merged.
If you really do care, see IndexWriter,forceMergeDeletes(). See also the javadoc for that: This is often a horribly costly operation; rarely is it warranted. -- Ian.
