No, it doesn't, neither with nor without the patch.  But we can make it
work, and also address a UI issue.  This series starts with two patches
that only move code around, then follows the patch you commented on, a
patch addressing dangling symrefs and finally a change to the way
deleted symrefs are reported by git branch.

  branch: factor out check_branch_commit()
  branch: factor out delete_branch_config()
  branch: delete symref branch, not its target
  branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branches
  branch: show targets of deleted symrefs, not sha1s
