Being in the UK it was hard to get a response but we were eventually told this was expected behavior and would be in the gold product which of course it was :( So we wrote our deprovisioning around this and updated the masterAccountSID on the (pending-delete) users. I was amazed that, seemimgly no upgrade testing against a real, dirty AD had been done and disappointed that the feedback was not (IMO) taken. We since updated our deprovisioning to dump the AD user object, take a final back up of filestore and profile and exmerge dump the exchange mailbox before delete to aid recovery. I am amazed this has finally been fixed. If I dig through my mailbox archive I could probably find
