Currently if an nsIX509Cert is deleted via markForPermDeletion(), it doesn't actually get deleted until the backing nsNSSCertificate has its destructor called. I think this is what's causing behavior like in bug 454782. It may be possible to delete the certificate immediately when markForPermDeletion is called. However, I'm concerned that this could cause trouble if there are other references to the same certificate (although from preliminary tests, this doesn't seem to be the case). Anyway, this should be investigated.
