If you read the linked article, it states the compacting feature doesn't cleanly delete all the data. Some deleted files were found after the compacting had occured. It depends on where the data is in the file vault bands.

There seems to be ways around getting the compact feature to run if the mac is powered on too.

It does bring into question how secure file vault actually is. It may also affect other encrypted sparsebundles too.
