I think these days that behavior is controlled by
`mail-source-delete-incoming', and in CVS/alpha builds of Gnus, that
variable gets defaulted to nil (in beta and release versions ['5.x']
it defaults to t). If something breaks in the mail-splitting code,
it's intended to give you a safety net so that you can recover mail
from an earlier stage in the process.

If they are in fact being produced by Gnus, it's safe to just blow
them away. Did you recently change versions of Gnus somehow, possibly
from a 5.10 version or one included with your Emacs?
