 Replying to [comment:29 nickm]:

 circuit_set_n_circid_chan() *sets* circ->n_delete_pending in the analogous
 case (which is a no-op since the test for the if already implies that).
 That seems unlikely to be correct.

 I can try it on another chutney network.  How else should we check?  I'd
 be especially worried about bugs that prevented deletes from getting sent
 entirely.  Any ideas about how can we audit for those?
