The MAY_DELETE_SELF permission does not override the sticky
directory check.  It probably should.
I guess it would basically just let the file owner delegate permission
to delete your file to a non-owner?  Makes sense to me to allow that.
Yes, independent of whether or not the process has MAY_DELETE_CHILD
access on the directory but not independent of the sticky directory
check, which is a bit of a weird combination.
