I don't think this is a reasonable expectation because leaving inline elements after deletion can bloat the markup over time.

I think you meant to add step 5.5 which is to type "1" and "2" respectively. Otherwise, WebKit correctly removes all inline elements as expected. Frankly, I'm not convinced that we want this behavior. The author should know whether they want CSS or "presentational" elements.
