Comment(by maorb):

 Well, I've continued to check it, and found that indeed, when removing the
 meta_box of parent_div, the parent_id is not being sent in via submit, so
 the $_POST does not have a value for it, and it appears then to get value
 of 0.

 In order to fix this in my case, I wrote a small function to hook the
 save_post action and preserve the current post_parent id and write it
 directly to the database.
 Anyway, I think this issue should be fixed in the core.

 Here's my function I wrote for this:


 {{{
 function tc_persave_page_parent($post_id) {
         global $post, $wpdb;
         $q_upd = "UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_parent = $post->post_parent
 WHERE ID = $post->ID;";
         $res = $wpdb->get_results($q_upd);
 }

 add_action('save_post', 'tc_persave_page_parent' );
 }}}
