We have done a lot of work in removal/destruction area in Juju 2.6.
I can no longer reproduce the issue, although I have tried on AWS.
I have:
* bootstrapped,
* deployed 2 units of ubuntu requesting non-existing space (this got machines in the same twist as yours, i.e. with errors),
* remove-machine failed since it has a unit,
* remove-machine with --force succeeded,
* destroy-model and destroy-controller succeeded despite a machine in error.
