Summary: COMMENT_DELETED displayed after deleting comment

Initial Comment:
I'm using S9Y from the 1.5 SVN branch, r2717 (which basically means 1.5.5).

I deleted a (auto-approved) comment with the "delete comment" link in the comment notification mail ($domain/delete/comment_token_......)

The result was somewhat unexpected - my blog displayed a comment like

    $author zu $article $date
    COMMENT_DELETED

in the sidebar instead of hiding the comment. 

I can also see the comment with the "COMMENT_DELETED" text in the backend - for now, I have set it to "moderation" to hide it from the frontend.

This seems to affect only published comments. Deleting comments that wait for moderation works as expected.

Message:
Hi!

Actually, this should be expected behaviour - the comment body gets
replaced with the constant "COMMENT_DELETED" if there is a reply to the
comment you are deleting. If the comment were deleted, then the response
would also all be deleted, whichi s why we chose this "deleted" method.

Can this be the cause, or are you sure the comment you wanted to delete
has no associated replies?
