Changing importance to 'Wishlist' (feature request): Deleting a gradient stop works as described in the manual [1]: The keyboard shortcut <Del> (or <Backspace>) to delete a gradient stop is only available in the Gradient tool context. Use 'Ctrl+Alt+click' to delete a gradient stop in other shape tools and the node tool context.

Commited r11655.
Deleting the selected gradient stops with the <Delete> or <Backspace> keys should now work with all the other tools - node, tweak, zoom, rect, 3dbox, arc, star, spiral, spray (when 'Enable Gradient Editing' pref is on)
