It's a bug which should be fixed in 2.4.5rc5. This bug will only show up
if you use left=%defaultroute and you don't set leftnexthop=%defaultroute.

Problem is that when you have left=%defaultroute, nexthop parameter is
added to route delete command and so actual added route and deleted
route won't match so ip route del can't find route to delete. And this
error should be visible in your logs.

Reason for this is that nexthop defaults to %direct but there was magic
in scripts when left=%defaultroute that when routes are deleted,
leftnexthop was set to default gw and not %direct. This magic should not
be there on 2.4.5rc5.
