Personally, I'm suspecting some sort of Orwellian "anti-piracy" measure. Considering the DRM changes, Amazon seems to not like customers going outside their little ecosystem.
As I understand the issue, it's not that those books don't exist on your account; they well may if they've been purchased from Amazon. What matters is that to Amazon's knowledge, they've not been downloaded to your Kindle and so shouldn't exist there. Hence the deleting.
