Anastasia, thank you for removing juju-core from the bug. Adding that was my mistake.
John, thank you for your supporting comment. juju remove-machine does indeed leave the machine running when provisioner-harvest-mode is set to none.
I think the current behaviour is problematic. If an operator, for whatever reason, at some point decides to use that setting to remove a machine from a juju model without having it destroyed, and then juju later decides to destroy it anyway without any visibility to the operator is going to cause harm.
