Simply giving a user connect privileges on a database does not make the database dependent upon said user and so removing said user remains possible. Either (or both) a more explicit description or a self-contained test case is needed to figure out if you are simply mis-understanding the situation or if there truly is a bug. The sentence I quoted above leads me to think operator-error.
