All I want is for the files to be removed the next time a user does p4 sync. It would be nice if obliterate worked like delete.

The whole point of obliterate is that it completely removes all references to the files. That means that the files are gone from db.have, so p4d doesn't know that those files are present in the user's workspace.

If you want the delete semantics, use delete. The obliterate command is not there for routine file management.
