Hi,
It rarely(less than 1 time per month) returns killed buffers, but it does.
Maybe some of my used packages referenced the killed buffers.

The elisp reference manual has mentioned about this behavior:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Killing-Buffers.html#Killing-Buffers

The buffer object for the buffer that has been killed remains in existence
as long as anything refers to it, but it is specially marked so that you
cannot make it current or display it. Killed buffers retain their identity,
however; if you kill two distinct buffers, they remain distinct according
to eq although both are dead.
Sincerely yours,
Ken.
