According to the comment in server.el, the risk of the server file not
being "ours" anymore:
;; Delete the associated connection file, if applicable.
;; This is actually problematic: the file may have been overwritten by
;; another Emacs server in the mean time, so it's not ours any more.
;; (and (process-contact proc :server)
;; (eq (process-status proc) 'closed)
;; (ignore-errors (delete-file (process-get proc :server-file))))
though I'd love to know how likely that is, vs. problems like the one
you reported.
