Yes, please.  I thought this was a fact - and didn't look at all into
the problem.

Not sure if QGIS always does a REPACK (it used to after each delete - but that
changes feature ids and interferes with internal stuff).  I'm also not sure
that GDAL 2 fixes the problem - the comments to the ticket are not conclusive
in that regard (GRASS is probably not a good test as it also uses GDAL and
hence also should follow it's interpretation of what's deleted; see also
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2016-January/043483.html).

PS: @Saber may your GDAL 2.0.0dev come from experiments with this?  OSGeo4W has
1.11.3 (or 2.0.0 as experimental - which QGIS doesn't use - but no *dev).
