I can confirm that in activiti 6 the following is true:

If your user task in a process does not have the 'Assignments' property set to anything:
- create
- assignment
- complete
- delete (even if you just complete the task)

If your user task in a process does have the 'Assignments' property set:
- assignment
- create
- complete
- delete (even if you just complete the task)

Calling the assignment before create caused an issue for us, so we had to do a work-around.
We also had to work around the delete. If the task/process is cancelled we consider it a delete.
We now check if the task is completed when the delete fires, then we consider it as complete.

@maudrid: I checked it in the code … but I can't see how that can happen. Do you have an example that I can use to reproduce the difference in events order being thrown.
