It really depends on your branching strategy. If the branches are children of the trunk, I would say, delete the file in trunk, and then merge the delete into the branches.

I'm not sure why you would consider a delete change and different than any other code change? Of course, with a delete there is the possibility of a tree conflict. For example, if you delete foo.cs in trunk, and someone edits foo.cs in a branch. When merging the delete to the branch you are going to get a tree conflict... svn is telling you, "Hey, the merge source wants to delete this file, but you've changed it... what you wanna do boss?"
