New description:

 When editing a draft or a post, a button is available that says "Delete
 this post". With Javascript disabled, this nonce check will always fail
 because the nonce code is inserted with javascript. This should peacefully
 degrade for users without javascript and allow them to delete without
 seeing the AYS dialogue.

 BTW, verified that this behavior is consistent between 2.0 branch and
 trunk... and it is.

Comment:

 This is desired behavior.  As mdawaffe said, no matter whether you have JS
 on or off, you have to confirm that you want to delete the post.  Absent a
 trash bin, we must keep this dialog to prevent an errant click from
 deleting a post forever.

 The AYS dialog isn't informative, but that's an issue to be dealt with on
 #2734
