Will be fixed in SM 2.3.

It also deletes contacts in the personal addressbook when you delete
them from a distribution list. (SM2.2.1)
Will this bug also corrected/fixed in SM 2.3 ?
First, did you file a bug on it? Second, do the developers agree that
this is a bug?
A distribution list is a subset of addresses, and if you delete an
address from the address book I think it's correct to delete it from the
list. *But* not the other way around. Just because someone no longer
belongs on a list like a task force or committee, they shouldn't cease
to exist!
Agreed.
If SM is behaving as described, here's a first stab at a workaround
pending a bug fix:
1) Drag the recipient out of the list to a different /address book/.
This should delete him/her from the original AB as well as the list.
Verify deletion from first AB and list and presence in second AB.
2) Drag the recipient from the other AB back to the original AB (not to
the list). This should restore him/her to the original AB but not to the
list. Verify deletion from second AB and presence in first AB but
absence from list.
Unfortunately drag and drop in the address book doesn't work, either, starting
in 2.2 you are protected against accidentally moving an address between address
books.
I stopped trying nightly and beta releases when it was announced that it "will
be fixed in a future release" rather than a 2.2.1 fix. I might like new
features, but I can't justify doing QA on every feature which is needed for
daily use. From what I read here it sounds like address book is more broken not
less.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
