Yes it is advised by table.el:

,----[ C-h f delete-region RET ]
| delete-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
| It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <clear>.
| (delete-region start end)
| 
| Delete the text between point and mark.
| 
| When called from a program, expects two arguments,
| positions (integers or markers) specifying the stretch to be deleted.
| 
| This subr is advised.
| 
| Around-advice `table-advice-delete-region'.
`----

After I removed the (require 'table) from my .emacs I get

,----[ C-h f delete-region RET ]
| delete-region is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
| It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <clear>.
| (delete-region start end)
| 
| Delete the text between point and mark.
| 
| When called from a program, expects two arguments,
| positions (integers or markers) specifying the stretch to be deleted.
`----

But I still get the error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range -46 118)
  delete-region(118 -46)
