Hey,
you bring up an interesting question: What should happen if the model of a form 
gets removed? What is the expected behavior? In your case, it would be to reset 
the form values, right? Can you think of a use case where the current behavior 
would be an advantage? At the moment, I can't see a use case for that which 
opens up the opportunity to change the behavior in the form controller. Could 
you maybe open up a bug report for that? That should be a minor thing to change 
which I could do soon.
Regards,
Martin
