I also have the same experience as the OPs.

In such hypothetical situation, would there be any risk of
accidentally/unknowingly setting such newly on-focus Format on the cell(s) that
are/were selected just before opening the Format dialog, by pressing OK when
the deletion of Formats finishes?

Perhaps there should be some kind of "Manage (Number) Format Code/Styles" or
"Manage Format Cells" dialog somewhere, similar to what happens with
Conditional Format, where there is "Conditional > Condition" for a specific
(range of) cell(s), while there is "Conditional > Manage" too. Or similar to
"Manage Styles". Meaning, list of (User-Defined) Number Format actively used,
showing (list of) ranges of cells, and/or "inactive" User-Defined Number
Formats (where the list of cells is empty).

FWIW, I recently came across an extension named "TheCAT" for Calc. I'm still
learning about it – my first try with it I received a report with several dozen
pages" - but maybe this extension already has something useful for this kind of
situation.

* Step 1: select a specific Format (or several) line(s) of the list/box (i.e.
the list of formats on the middle-right of the Number Format dialog).
* Step 2: press the [DEL] key.
