You're right, updates are really deletes/adds. Deleted documents are NOT found in future queries, so that's not a problem.
However, the #terms# in a deleted document still affect the relevance calculations. But in most cases you'll never notice this. By that I mean that the term frequency counts are still influenced by the terms from the deleted documents etc. Even this abstruse effect is removed upon the first optimize after delete. That's when the document, terms, etc is removed from the index files.
