I don't know whether we should fix the issue or not, but I've created
a patch for that.
But I must mention a little (theoretical) edge case with my patch:
pacman -Rus now can work a bit funny: 
Pacman first pulls the 'dep' removable dependency of 'foo'. Then it
detects that foo cannot be removed, this is resolved by removing foo
from target list. You may think, that the next step of "unneeded check"
will also remove 'dep'. But not necessarily! Multiple satisfiers can
confuse things. So in this case -Rus does some unwanted orphan deletion.
