I am using managed vms and also have the issue of non-default versions running residual instances. However, I do not experience the issue you have described where the instances remain even after deleting the non-default versions.
Are you using a standard runtime or custom runtime (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/#runtimes)? The lifecycle (shutdown) request handling seems like a potential culprit, so that may be worth examining if you are using a custom runtime. I am using a node custom Dockerfile and my app just returns a 200 on requests to ` /_ah/stop` (https://github.com/home-buddy/express-appengine-handlers/blob/master/index.js#L18). You can probably check your logs for requests to that URL to see if there are non-200 responses. What version of the gcloud cli tool are you running? While potentially unrelated to this issue, you may want to update it because I do not think `--remote` is an option anymore (implying you may need an update). As an aside, I would love guidance on fixing the issue where every non-default version has instances running. Perhaps this is the expected behavior since managed VMs is labeled as beta?
