Hi. I'm not sure about what's going on here, but I suspect this is
related to both addFeatures and destroyFeatures fiddling with the
features array. As a workaround you can try to register to
beforefeaturesadded (instead of beforefeatureadded) and call
destroyFeatures with no argument. Hope this helps,
