I can still only assume what you're doing: manually adding the entries
directly by LDAP. To do this you need to follow IPA conventions, or use
the new user lifecycle framework added in 4.2.

I'm guessing it can't delete the managed entry because either it doesn't
exist or it is missing an objectclass/attribute marking it as managed.
