Ryan, is this by design?

On desktop I'm pretty sure that the client just disconnects automatically. iOS should follow suit, possibly firing this notification. https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/gecko-strings/file/default/browser/chrome/browser/accounts.properties#l35

We'll test shortly at today’s Sync Fest.

We tested this in Sync Fest today and none of the operating systems deliver a perfect experience.

Not many users delete their accounts, so perfect might be the enemy of the good.

As a first step, I suggest that when the client detects that the account has been deleted it should simply sign out without notification. I'll refer to this as "ghosting".

A more polished experience would look like this:

When the user deletes the account:
- The current device "ghosts"
- Other connected devices disconnect from Sync
-- They display a notification with the title "Sync Disconnected" and body "The account user@example.com has been deleted".
-- If the user taps this notification, they are taken to an FxA page to recreate the account (see next attachment)
