It seems likely this was fixed months ago, by this change:

Wed Mar 25 17:31:28 GMT 2009  Richard Boulton <richard@lemurconsulting.com>

	* python/pythontest2.py: Change deletion of database objects to
	  Database.close() calls, which should be more robust across
	  different python implementations, and should also avoid problems
	  on windows when the temporary database directories are deleted if
	  other objects which aren't deleted have lingering references to
	  the database.

Charlie: can you confirm/deny if this is still a live issue?

[Charlie Hull]

Fixed now, please close it.

OK, from the date of the above entry, it would have been in 1.1.0.
