As you pointed out, you couldn't recreate the file whilst Oracle was running because the space was being held by Oracle.

I am a little hazy on detail, but I believe it is a general feature of Unix systems that a file doesn't cease to exist (even if it invisible) until the last process holding its inode releases it.
