There should be no problem with this. The nav-list will/can/should reselect the "second to last" item (so to speak) if you delete the "last item". Are you using the lsorted option? Are you using an indexed cursor? Does this nav-list feature in any event broadcasting code? Anything in the showcontrol method?
