Comment:

 Hmm, that's the way it's supposed to work but I can see why it would be
 problematic. There was never a "move the posts or delete them" page on the
 wpmu-users.php page, it was on users.php and it becomes quite awkward if
 more than one user is deleted.

 Possible solutions include:
 1. Transferring their posts to the first user on the blog.
 2. Showing a list of users on each blog that each "about to be deleted"
 user has posts on and allowing the site admin to pick a new user to get
 those posts. Bonus points if the admin can select one user and transfer
 all posts on all blogs to that user.
 3. Deleting the posts.
