Not reproduce in Inkscape 0.48.2: in the single path (union) mode, the original object is untouched (the unioned path does though include a copy of the original object stacked on top of it). If the the "sprayed" path itself is deleted, the original object gets visible again (it is not deleted, unless it was part of the selection which was deleted).

Reproduced in Inkscape 0.48.2: as far as I understand this is the same underlying issue as (i.e. a duplicate of)
Bug #166009 “overlapping two-node straigh line paths disappear on union”
<https:/
A path operations like 'Union' does work on the area of 'unioned' objects, straight lines do not have an area and are discarded.
Workaround for the spray tool (as is for unioning the outlines of straight lines): select the original line and convert the stroke to path (menu 'Path > Stroke to Path), before using it as original object in the spray tool.
