For what i know, this is the default behavior of construction bots. The same would happen if you mark some entities for deconstruction: Without a storage chest, the bots will hover over the place where the deconstructed entity has been, with the mined entity still in their inventory. I think it's generally recommended to have at least one storage chest available within each network dedicated to construction, repair or - in this case - maintenance.
Because this is vanilla behavior, i'll regard this issue as "not a bug".
