This also reproduces (but using Alt-Shift-Backspace rather than Shift-Del) on a 2015 Pixel running Chrome 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit) and Platform 8350.68.0 (Official Build) stable-channel samus.

I'm able to repros bad behavior with 54.0.2840.16. Sometimes hitting SHIFT+DEL doesn't even remove the item while the list is open, sometimes it does but the item reappears if a new autocompletion is triggered.

Shift-del is "cut", so if you have a selection in the address bar (e.g. from inline autocompletion), hitting shift-delete will delete that completion, not ask the omnibox to remove the underlying match.

If you're going to use shift-del to remove items, always make sure you've used the arrow keys to select the item (i.e. if the item is the first thing in the dropdown, arrow away then back up).  If you do this and still have problems, we can reopen.
Aha, thanks! It turned out that we had to remove every related suggestion, such as the redirect target of somasim.com or a subpage that had been previously visited, before the suggestion we wanted to remove would go away. I don't know if this qualifies as a bug, but it is annoying.
