If you cannot remove someone from another server from your friendslist (by getting back "xyz is not a valid charname" or so from the /command) this means that this char has been deleted on that server. Unfortunatly there is no way atm to delete that entry on your f-list

Doesn't work. The names are stored with an internal "server ID"... so "starsider.pooka" isn't the same as "pooka", if you're on Bloodfin.
Gotta love the bugs, doncha?

Yup. It's a definite bug in the code. The "delete friend" code should be checking against your existing friend-list, not against the server's "existing players" list.
Silly bug, really. Be sure to /bug it, in-game.
