Basically, when you create a table or a chain you can use "add" or "create", and only the second option will return an error if the table/chain you wanted to create already exists. But in the case of deleting tables/chains, which don't exist, there's only one option -- return an error. Maybe some option could be added so it would just ignore the absence of the table/chain you wanted to delete? It would ease some scripting I think, like with the "add" variant while creating stuff. Of course, my main ruleset script doesn't trigger the kernel BUG anymore, since it can't delete the not existing table now. Do you want to dig deeper about that kernel BUG? I could send you the ruleset if you want to target what actually causes the BUG.
