Mark might have to comment on this too, but there's a metadata issue that makes this currently impossible. The deletion notice does not contain all of the Tweet metadata, just the primary key, and maybe another field or two. So, there's nothing to match to forward on to your stream. All firehose consumers will receive the delete, however, so your Tweet should be gone from search.twitter.com, Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc. etc.
