Download does not fail. It's definitely a bug as lots of downloads that were saved to different folders all got deleted after clearing download history. I can recreate the bug every time I try.
I've tested it with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and the file is not deleted. Try it with https://thebestmotherfucking.website/ and it is deleted. Seems to only happen with certain sites / files.
Just retried this and noticed that the download is actually failing. The download is showing failed even though the page has downloaded, I'm using UBlock Origin which is likely blocking some elements from downloading. It does look like the same duplicate bug as bug 1485555. Please feel free to close or delete this report.
