Are you using a shared memory cache? If yes, please file a bug report.
You may want to add ${process_name} to your access.log line to show
which worker all these GET and PURGE requests went to.

Please note that ufs storage is not SMP-aware so the fact that the file
disappeared from disk on PURGE in your test case was just an accident.
The file will stay on disk if the worker receiving a PURGE request is
different from the worker that cached the file.

Thank you,

Alex.
