Matthias, I can confirm this bug when using GNOME on Ubuntu 17.10 with
GNOME Software 3.24.
I even rebuilt GNOME Software with the PackageKit backend instead of
Ubuntu's apt backend but I could still reproduce the bug.
I tested with GNOME Calculator which is fairly small without many
reverse-depends and is only a recommends of ubuntu-desktop.

Any application that has AppStream metadata can be uninstalled using GNOME
