Chad, Files only get deleted from the pending queue on a sporadic basis. Well actually it's based on a statistical average which you can set via parameters within your .tmda/config file by changing the value of the PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS parameter which defaults to .01 (1%) meaning that files will be removed on average once for every 100 emails that you receive. See http://www.tmda.net/config-vars.html#PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS for more info on this parameter. This is the same parameter that controls removal of old messages from the pending queue when they have reached an age equivalent to or greater than the PENDING_LIFETIME parameter.
Last I knew when you are using tmda-pending to sort the messages in the queue, any action you take other than show and pass simply modifies the name of the file in your pending directory by appending :3,x where x is an R for release and may have other values for other actions (not necessarily the same letter used to perform the action). In this way tmda-pending knows the disposition of any of the messages in the queue even if they have not yet been removed from the queue.
