I consider this a bug. The manpage says:

 luksKillSlot <device> <key slot number>
 wipe key with number <key slot> from LUKS device. A
 remaining passphrase or key file (via --key-file) must be supplied.

 luksDelKey <device> <key slot number>
 identical to luksKillSlot, but deprecated action name.

I think cryptsetup should have bailed out and exited,
because "1" is not a device.
