Yes, it makes a difference. The recalculation isn't done unless user
really is over quota. Hmm. I did just consider adding code to
recalculate the quota also if adding a new mail would bring user over
quota, but it would require pretty large changes to the code.

How about you simply delete maildirsize file after deleting files from
maildir?
