As the manual says:

     -W          Attempt to undelete the named files.  Currently, this option
                 can only be used to recover files covered by whiteouts.

For additional explaination see

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2006-April/001761.html

and

man 2 undelete

It has to do with unionfs.
