It's not a bug, but a function of the database system.
If you create an item in db1 and reference it in db2, instances in db2 with that reference callback to db1 instead of copying it (saves a lot of space). So, if the item in db1 is deleted but the db2 callback is still looking for it, it returns a message of 'no item'.

I believe that all 3 databases interact with each other in this way.
