Bug Description
I don't know if it's intentional, but for me it's a bug.
When full rsync mode is enabled, if I delete a file or a folder from source, it won't be deleted in the next snapshot.
Also, if the deletion is the only change in source, BIT says there's no difference and hence doesn't take any snapshot.
BTW: isn't there a way to get a snapshot in full rsync mode even if there's no change? The checkbox for this gets disabled when you choose "full rsync mode".

I can't confirm this here. Deleted files or folders are gone in next snapshot. And this would be a serious bug otherwise
Could you please describe your setup? Local or remote drive, source and destination filesystem, rsync version on both if remote...
'Check for changes' is disabled with 'Full rsync mode' because there is no such check. With normal mode this will deactivate the rsync --dry-run. But with 'Full rsync mode' BIT will create a new snapshot anyways and delete it afterwards if there was no changes. This is still faster than before.
