The larger problem is that this behavior means that destroying gparts sometimes

all. For instance, if you have nested partitioning like MBR+BSD (or EBR) it is
not possible to
destroy the underlying MBR geom without committing the destruction of the BSD
geom. This is
because the MBR geom cannot be destroyed, even without committing, while it
continues to have
children, which it does due to the ghost geom for the BSD slice.
Actually you can destroy underlying MBR geom without committing, just use
"force" flag.
But there is another problem, the metadata of nested scheme will not deleted
and it might
appear again when you create new MBR and new partition in the same place.
This isn't true for nested partitioning, at least in my experience.
