The trash post HTTP API probably returns an error that indicates the post has been deleted. The app should handle the error better, and potentially show another alert with options like "Save as draft", "Discard the post".

This has been fixed in the scope of the "Offline Mode (Sync Issues)" project (pilot in 24.8; release in 24.9).
