switching with externals issue

Case 1)

The working folder is currently on the trunc which has the following external

^/lib ext/lib

Switching to another, let's say emty, branch will causes the versioned lib folder to be deleted but will leave the un-versioned ext folder. This works as expected.

Case 2)

The working folder is currently on the trunc. Underneath the trunc is a versioned folder named ext.

The ext folder has the following external

^/lib lib

Switching to another, let's say emty, branch, from trunc, will not only cause the versioned ext to remain but also the versioned lib folder. It is expected that the lib folder should at least be deleted as is the case in 1. Also, any versioned and up to date, relative to trunc, folder should be deleted which is wat normally happen when you switch.

Case 3)

Case 1 but with ext being versioned before the external is applied. Behaves simalarly to case 2.

Is this a bug or is there a rule stating that there should be no versioned folders between the folder being switched from and the external folder?
