Check again.
When I tried it, it did delete the person, but didn't refresh the name list
to reflect the change.
Selecting a different group, or closing/reopening the window refreshes the
list and shows your changes.
I don't see anything in the Address Book dictionary that will refresh the
name list. Sounds like a bug to me.
