user deleted with workflow tasks still assigned

A user was deleted with workflow tasks still assigned. The task threw an error and an email was received by all of the workflow's controllers, and the task assigned to them. This seems perfectly logical and I assume this is the default behavior.

However, some other users also received this same email, who are not controllers in this workflow. End user reporting this issue is using v7.1. I have looked through the Minor Update docs but see no mention of this as a bug that has been fixed.

Has anyone else heard of this behavior?

Thanks,
