Selecting "remove this branch" on a branch equal to HEAD yielded a
warning that this branch is not in any other: it is, it is on HEAD.
Do you mean that HEAD was a direct ref to the same commit as the
branch you were deleting, or that HEAD pointed to the branch you were
deleting?  I.e. what was in .git/HEAD, a commit ID or a branch name?

If the latter, then I think gitk was correct to warn, since you'll end
up with .git/HEAD pointing to a non-existent branch, won't you?
Curiosly, this warning was not triggered for any other deletion and
so is at best misleading. Get rid of it.
I'd rather fix it.
