This issue was fixed with r41 in the maintainer's code at http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/. Not sure if those changes have made it into the Ubuntu version yet or not though. What was happening was the code was using the second passphrase to verify any key-slot and then afterward checking to see if that key-slot was the same key-slot as originally entered to remove - if it was it would pop out an error, specifically the one you show above. The changes basically disabled the key-slot you want to remove before doing the passphrase verification so that key-slot won't be used for verification, and then afterward re-enabling it before deleting it, pending a proper verification of course.
Thanks a lot for this explanation. The new behavior definitely makes more sense and is consistent.
It seems that r41 did not make it into Ubuntu 9.04.
