First I thought cp would be aliased to 'cp -i' (interactive) but I don't find anything of such sort. The active aliasses are:
[kebil@midas ~]$ alias l. ls -d .* --color=tty ll ls -l --color=tty ls ls --color=tty vi vim
So, maybe you're trying to delete files from which you are not the owner (eventhough you own the directory)? No, I just created two test files and it had the same behaviour, asking it it could overwrite.
