Namely, as the code without the patch works now, it leaves the board uneditable anyways, and without a warning. Just test with a footprint which has nothing but ref and value and one paste-only pad. It doesn't matter whether the pad is left there or removed after the layer is deleted. The footprint can't be selected or edited.
I would still go with this patch, just add a sentence to the warning if pads are deleted. "Additionally this may lead to footprints which cannot be edited or deleted" or something like that.
