Time Machine couldn't complete the backup ...

Why do I frequently get a message that "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup ..." due to "The backup disk needs XXX GB and only XXX GB are available." Shouldn't Time Machine "intelligently" delete old backups when the disk becomes full?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
