This is because every layer that has an animstack action tag on it is deleted
after processing, this is not something unique to [delete] tag. This is because
tagged layers are basically commands, and after being executed they are not
needed anymore.

The intended use-case was that a new empty layer is created tagged with [delete]
and placed right before the first layer that is supposed to be deleted. But your
way is fine too.
