Was your rootfs a symbolic link by chance?  I'm guessing commit
55116c42e767ce795f796fc51cd2ef7d76cf18af is what you're seeing.  Before
that it did remove the rootfs, but if your rootfs was a symlink it
happened to not do it.  That wasn't by intent.

Perhaps lxc-destroy should take a flag to not delete the rootfs?  Not
sure...
