I know the fact that DELETE and UPDATE don't accept a table alias has come
up here a couple of years ago, but I think this should be filed as a bug
because the syntax documentation explicitly shows it being accepted.  Both
statements are documented as taking a qualified-table-name:

qualified-table-name:
https://www.sqlite.org/syntaxdiagrams.html#qualified-table-name

Delete: https://www.sqlite.org/syntaxdiagrams.html#delete-stmt
Update: https://www.sqlite.org/syntaxdiagrams.html#update-stmt

And qualified-table-name has the optional [AS <alias>] component.

This page places extra restrictions only in the context of triggers:
https://www.sqlite.org/lang_delete.html

Even the trigger restrictions do not mention the alias clause.
