I don't recall if it is mediated by Solr or Lucene, but I know for sure that in Solr, block join children are removed when the parent is delete by ID. However, deleting by query definitely does not clean up children. If it became true that any deletion of the parent could (optionally) ensure removal of the associated children, that would be super spiffy :)
