If uninstalling a package places files in lost+found, then I'm well and
truly confused.

To confuse you a bit more here is an example:

# find /var/pkg/lost+found/ -type f
# echo test > 
/usr/lib/python3.9/vendor-packages/pytest_randomly-3.15.0.dist-info/TEST
# pkg uninstall pytest-randomly-39 pytest-randomly
...
# find /var/pkg/lost+found/ -type f
/var/pkg/lost+found/usr/lib/python3.9/vendor-packages/pytest_randomly-3.15.0.dist-info-20240112T154031Z/TEST
# cat 
/var/pkg/lost+found/usr/lib/python3.9/vendor-packages/pytest_randomly-3.15.0.dist-info-20240112T154031Z/TEST
test
#

Just to clarify what happened here, Marcel added a file to an IPS-created directory then deleted the only package that caused that directory to exist. IPS deleted the files it managed, moved the leftovers to a subdirectory of /var/pkg/lost+found, then deleted the directory.
