Your could try to override it with some code like

getNode().getTreeParent().removeChild(getNode())

Shouldn't that work?

Of course it would be nice if that were the default behavior, but there may be reasons
which are against that...

yes, it does.
The idea still is that you won't be using simple delete(), but will write a
more semantic-rich delete-something-from-some-parent method, that will make
all the service stuff like adding or removing tokens.
