Just rebooted my problem box and can run 'userdel ...' with no error.
Rebooting is not always an option on a server though.

Bug description:
  A post from Cjacker show me that bug, To review this issue, you can
  doing  follow this steps:

  1,    sudo adduser test                  ---- then you got a new user
  named test (also password)

  2,    use Alt + Ctrl + F2  change to a terminal login as test.

  3,    logoff from this terminal

  4,    back to your main terminal or X, and use deluser / userdel to delete user "test", then, here we get is a system warning:
          "can`t delete user test: user is currently log in "

  this maybe a bug , maybe a policies for something , maybe system does
  not update wtmp status unhesitating :)
