Ah, I see what's going on here. In the overwrite mode we anticipated someone was overwriting a dataset with the same partitioning. If I remember correctly, the way that we delete files in overwrite mode, the C++ looks for the folders the partitions would create and then deletes the files inside of those. But if you write with a new partitioning, it doesn't look in other folders that might exist.
There are a few things we could do (and these aren't necessarily mutually exclusive):
Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
It seems that the default for existing_data_behavior='overwrite' does not actually overwrite existing data. @jonkeane
