Unconnected tie remains when deleting tie-ending note from its chord

To reproduce:
Create new score (here, Treble Clef, 8 measures)
N, C, +, shift-B, Esc (creates quarter-note C tied to C in a C,B chord)
Alt-Down, Delete (selects second C, deletes it)

Expected: tie would get deleted (as it does if you delete the entire chord)
Observed: tie remains on first C (and moves with it if its pitch is changed)

The stranded tie disappears if the score is saved and reopened (compressed or not). In an uncompressed save, the tie appears in the .mscx file.

This is on Windows 7, with either 2.0.1 or the latest nightly:

Supporting these sort of one-sides ties - both forward and backward ties - is on the list of things I'd like to see for a future release. As this issue shows, there *is* some support for it internally. We just work pretty hard to avoid letting users create one.

I'm not opposed to closing this loophole for now, but I'd rather spend the effort supporting one-side ties more directly.
