It's no more evil than any antivirus software, which also intercepts
file-writes. People get theses same sort of problems all the time with
antivirus software. A subversion process creates a file (or directory)
then rapidly tries to delete it, but fails because the antivirus
software (or indexing software) is still reading/examining the file.
I suspect similar things might happen with OSX Tiger's new 'spotlight'
feature.
