Merge Question: "Working Files"

I am admin-ing a Subversion repository and I am new to this tool.

BTW, so far, I like it. Lots of improvement from CVS.

Anyway, I have to roll up a snapshot of the repository for a delivery
and thus instructed all the developers to merge their work to the trunk.

One developer had the following issue/complaint: In his branch
directory, he had files that had never been "registered" to the
repository (with svn add). The merge operation made these files
disappear.

Is this a bug or an expected effect of the merge ?
