Still can't reproduce.  I ran this command to pull some files in /src.
It's the same as yours but *without* your exclude and with some excludes
that I added to keep the number of files reasonable:

~/rsync/versions/rsync-3.0.1/rsync --exclude='/[.A-Za-q]*' --exclude=/scripts --exclude='/*/*/*' -av --delete --delete-excluded --prune-empty-dirs ftp.funet.fi::CPAN cpan-mirror/

Then:

rm cpan-mirror/src/perl5.004_01.tar.gz.md5.txt

And the same command but *with* your exclude:

~/rsync/versions/rsync-3.0.1/rsync --exclude='/[.A-Za-q]*' --exclude=/scripts --exclude='/*/*/*' -av --delete --exclude '/src/**' --delete-excluded --prune-empty-dirs ftp.funet.fi::CPAN cpan-mirror/

Rsync deleted the rest of the files all the way up to src/ itself and
did not recreate the one I deleted.
