In my tests, the deletion of a node will be blocked if a field is set to a value that will fail validation.

IMHO, validation of fields should be bypassed when deleting a node.

Are you sure?
Have you seen the error message that generated by this module?

Do you mean that you edit a node, and click the delete button?
Or click the delete link at admin/content?

Delete button when editing a node.

My validation is custom PHP code.

This is not a bug, when you click the delete button ,
Drupal also trigger the validation process, if your data fail the validation process, you will get the error message.

It is correct.

So if for some reason a node violates a validation rule it can never be deleted? Why would you need to validate a node that you intended to delete? Weather its valid or not you want to delete.

Agree with Agerson. I have added a validation rule which applies to new nodes, but removing any nodes that were created before the validation rule is now impossible (for non-admins at least). It may work as designed but this is a fairly big UX hole.
