Well really the trouble is that you are not managing the associations

have to anyway) you would not have gotten this surprise.
That's what we do in our applications. This is just a unit test to
show all the cascade features to our developers, what they can do,
when they fail and so on.
The fact that a delete operation is silently ignored is disturbing IMHO.
