Move to Trash doesn't remove entry from Library File rhythmdb.xml

Description
Please describe the problem: When you right click a song, and select "Remove", it removes the song from the Library listing, as well as the rhythmdb.xml Library file.
However, when you right click a song and select "Move to Trash", while it does move the song to the trash, it leaves an entry in the rhythmdb.xml Library file.
This is incredibly minor, and a little picky... so I apologize if it's being too picky, or unreasonable. In fact, I notice that it also adds a line to "hide" the file moved to the trash. So there may be some reason for not removing the entry that I'm simply not aware of.
Steps to reproduce:
- Right click a song, click Remove. The entry in the Library file will be removed.
- Right click a song, click Move to Trash. The entry in the Library file remains.
Actual results: Items Moved to Trash clutted up the Library file.
Expected results: Items Moved to Trash should also be removed from the Library file, just as items "Removed" from the Library are.
Does this happen every time? Yes.
Other information: Again, I apologize if this is being too picky. Rhythmbox is one of the only players I've used that actually keeps a clean Library database file (removing song entries most of the time, as well as lengthy Podcast entries), and I was actually very excited about it! I am really really impressed with it. It's something I've wanted from every Library-based player I've used, but no developers seem to take the time to make it happen. In fact, many Library based players I've used tend to inflate the Library file when items are removed or deleted.
The only reason I post this or wonder is because I enjoy how clean the Library keeps itself most of the time, and if someone were to do a huge amount of file managing and deleting through Rhythmbox, it may create a large Library file that may also lengthen load times in the long run.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the player as a somewhat new user, and am really impressed by the whole thing! Maybe I'm weird by being impressed by a player that keeps a clean Library file... but oh well. I even enjoy and appreciate that!
Thanks for everyones work on this very much, and for any help with this bug/misunderstanding. Thanks again!
