I believe you selected directories and files.  The directories were
deleted first, so the files in them were deleted before mc tried to delete
them individually.

If you want a better answer, describe a test case so that it can be
reproduced.

No.  GNU Midnight Commander is interactive software.  It should do what
the user wants.  Except for some well established cases, such as locale
and terminal capabilities, the behavior of GNU Midnight Commander should
be determined by the user's actions.
