This could be avoided by expanding the items to include the index of

doubly-linked list.

The disadvantage would be that it would use more memory.

Another, easier technique: don't fill holes.  Same disadvantage
(increased memory use), but easier to write and maintain.

When iterating over the dict, you'd need to skip over the holes, so it would be a good idea to compact it a some point, when there are too many holes.
