I consider deletion of a key for which a value is set to be a type of
use-after-free bug and thereby to have undefined behavior. POSIX does
not seem to specify a behavior for it, and it does not seem possible
to specify something consistent.

musl does not unload DSOs, so this one is not relevant to musl.
