Chris, why would you expect changing re-usable space which still contains deleted objects for potential recovery and which is visible via the recyclebin to just being free space would have any effect on the ASM diskgroup allocation?

The ASM diskgroup is basically allocated file space that is available. Once the database takes a chunk of the diskgroup ASM does not know or care what the database does with it.
