The latter behavior seems correct to me. It is slightly different: if you change a file without committing _-and- the switch to another branch does not touch the file, git does not complain. The rationale: git should refuse to switch branches _only_ if uncommitted changes would be lost. However, if you change a file whose content is different in the other branch (and "not existing" qualifies), the uncommitted changes would be lost, and git should complain.
