That is a HUGE problem. Really should have been fixed by now......

One keystroke to fix, or two?

I think two.  It has to be at least three keystrokes for me to move an issue into the huge problem category.

Maybe the system thought he was Jesus Christ and would rise again after 3 days.

IS IT on the return?  Or just on the worksheet?  I just killed off one of my client's dependents, on 6/30/21, and nothing changes on Page 1 of the 1040. So what is the purpose of it being on the worksheet?  To keep it from being rolled over to next year, but then the programmers forgot why they put it there?  Or maybe something shows up in the Organizer. "Remember your son died the year before."
