Comment:

 The issue isn't in the `get_delete_post_link()` function, so
 [attachment:26832.patch] will have no effect. The issue is that a post
 that's "deleted" with the link from `get_delete_post_link( $post_id, '',
 true )` is actually trashed.

 The issue is in the logic in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.3.1/src/wp-
 admin/post.php#L290 the 'delete' case in wp-admin/post.php] which only
 deletes a post if `EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS` is empty.
