When merge-recursive wanted to create a new file in the work tree (either
as the final result, or a hint for reference purposes while delete/modify
conflicts), it unconditionally overwrote an untracked file in the working
tree. Be careful not to lose whatever the user has that is not tracked.

If a file was removed in HEAD, but modified in MERGE_HEAD, recursive merge
will result in a "CONFLICT (delete/modify)". If the (now untracked) file
already exists and was not added to the index, it is overwritten with the
conflict resolution contents.
In similar situations (cf. test 2), the merge would abort with
"error: Untracked working tree 'file' would be overwritten by merge."
The same should happen in this case.
