DELETE 1

I'm not sure why you expect this to error. Any row that would reference
a.b would be removed by the delete AFAICS.

Nope, there's no ON DELETE CASCADE on the FK, and RESTRICT is the default (thankfully).

But the FK constraint apparently doesn't get triggered by the delete, so neither case matters much here.
