More or less intentional. If a device is (virtually) ripped from the
system the driver will throw everything away. Device-mapper still has a
reference to the bdev but the queue is cleaned and removed.
I am not sure whether the any congested call would ever be triggered in
that situation. But at least the unplug all is when user-space tries to
change the maps to remove or replace the missing device. And very likely
the flush all call would be used as well (probably after that).
