Well, to me that reinforces the concept that ordered lists are appropriate. Again, in an ordered list, you can't really remove one of the items, particularly if the ordered list denotes a step-by-step process (such as "how to get to the current page starting from the homepage"). At the end of the day, it's a judgement call...and discussing the finer points of semantics in a markup language as coarse and unsuitable as HTML ends up being a tad futile, in my humble opinion...
