This can potentially break user-space scripts that rely on the best-effort
behaviour, this is the normal "delete without vid & enabled vlan filtering".
You can check the fdb delete code which does the same, this was intentional.

You can add an mdb entry without a vid to all vlans, add a vlan and then try
to remove it from all vlans where it is present - with this patch obviously
that will fail at the new vlan.
