I believe that change will actually cause problems for code that uses the return value of
delete, because it will try to extract the ‘export’ key from the database, instead of copying
what is in the database into an untied hash/array.

What code are you using that triggers this error?
The only way to produce that that I can think of is to bless a hash (or array) that has been
extracted from the database.
If that is what you are doing, this is something that DBM::Deep does not (and probably
cannot) support. It will confuse DBM::Deep to no end, as the (re-)blessed objects will still be
tied to the database.
It may be possible for that to trigger a warning, but I’m not sure.
Could you provide a test case (for the error)?
Thank you.
