Seems to me that having a file in your working tree whose content is
missing is something that it's reasonable for fsck to mention as a problem.
When a key is specified, indicates that the content of that
key has been irretrievably lost. This prevents commands like
git annex fsck --all from complaining about it; --all will
not operate on the key anymore.
That's the intention of marking a key as dead, to avoid a fsck --all
complaining about some long-ago loss that is no longer relevant but left
traces in the repository.
So I don't see a bug here.
