Yup, it should ideally do this, but luckily for you, this is
rather quirky in gnome-cal as it doesn't really support
letting the calendar conduit now about locally deleted
records.

The reason your merge didn't work again is because you're
no longer in a first-sync situation, you can get back to this
stage by disabling the conduit (and saving the options) and then
reenable the conduit.
