Absolutely not. I'm not using NFS and I try to remove the files locally.
It seems that btrfs returns a strange ESTALE errno...

grep -rsn ESTALE fs/btrfs/
fs/btrfs/inode.c:2412:          if (ret && ret != -ESTALE)
fs/btrfs/inode.c:2415:          if (ret == -ESTALE && root == root->fs_info->tree_root) {
fs/btrfs/inode.c:2451:          if (ret == -ESTALE) {
fs/btrfs/inode.c:4273:                  inode = ERR_PTR(-ESTALE);
fs/btrfs/export.c:71:           return ERR_PTR(-ESTALE);
fs/btrfs/export.c:104:          return ERR_PTR(-ESTALE);

This error seems to be common (even if I can't see any recent reports) :
