You don't say whether you're using yaffs2 or yaffs(1).

If you're using yaffs(1) then this is a problem because it would indicate that
attempts to delete a chunk are not "sticking". That would indicate, most
likely, some problem in your byte mapping in the nand driver.

If you're using yaffs2 then this is not a problem. Deletion in yaffs2 does not
end up being a physical mark on the nand, but is on a run-time state.
Therefore deletions will be perfomed like this until the block containing the
chunk is erased.
