Oddly, this just seems to have happened for us (cron missed the file somehow and now it's stuck on 'queued'). I take your point about the student not knowing it would be submitted, but at the same time, I can't think of a time when that wouldn't be a standard understanding in any educational setting (that it must not be plagiarised and that checks may be carried out). There's also the thing in the file system settings that allows for a copyright disclaimer to be added as a requirement sitewide, so this could be used to put a standard warning in that files may be checked against an online database.

The alternative is getting the student to resubmit the file, so we would need any hoover up function to delete the submission, email the student and tell them this. Do you think this would be necessary? I'm working on a fix for this today.
