Okay, so up to this point you have 2 addresses on the same subnet that
are now on dummy0.

This makes the default route go through 10.0.0.2.

Then you remove 10.0.0.2 from the local system, however since 10.0.0.1
is on the same subnet dummy0 would still be the correct interface to
access 10.0.0.2 it is just no longer local to the system.

You didn't delete the default routing entry so why would you expect it
to change? All you did is remove 10.0.0.2 from the local system. I
believe the assumption is that 10.0.0.2 is still out there somewhere, it
just isn't on the local system anymore.

This matches up with what I would expect. 10.0.0.2 is the default
gateway and it is accessible from dummy0 since 10.0.0.0/24 is accessible
from dummy0.

I'm not sure how you came to the "directly connected" conclusion. It is
still routing things out through 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.1.
Maybe your example would work better if you used 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.1.1
instead. Then I think you might be able to better see that when you
delete the second address the route would be broken.
