FYI - I found a workaround so I can continue working by following these instructions in the Wiki to forcibly end the workflow task, in case others run into the same problem. It would still be nice to know why this happened in case it happens again in our production environment.

Are you using Community 2.0 or Enterprise? I'm pretty sure we fixed this issue just before the Enterprise release of 2.0 - if not then we need to investigate further as it definitely sounds like a bug.

Yes, we have a bug in the Community build that was fixed for the Enterprise release. This bug is related to deleted items passed into workflow.

We plan on updating our Community build with our upcoming 2.0.1 maintenance release (which includes our new deployment services and
TinyMCE plug-ins to enable in-line file browsing / image embedding within
a textarea using our file browser widget - see early forum posts). In the meantime, I recommend using the Enterprise package to avoid this particular issue.
