Backspacing a tripple nested list leaves stray items

Reported by dtdesign...@gmail.com, Feb 13 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.51 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Have a nested list that goes three levels deep, selecting such a tree and backspacing it leads to a stray list item.

Please see the attached file for an interactive example.

1. A
2. B
  1. C
    1. D
3. E

Select B to D and hit backspace.

What is the expected behavior?
1. A
2. 
3. E

What went wrong?
1. A
2. 
  1.
3. E

The item "1." inside "2." should be gone entirely.

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

The same behavior occurs when deleting an item with the [DEL] key, so this isn't exclusive to backspacing.

It can also be somewhat reproduced using `getSelection().getRangeAt(0).deleteContents()`, but this has yields a slightly more erroneous DOM that appears to be the result of the attempts to generate valid HTML.

This leads me to the assumption, that each of these operations use a common code to handle the deletion of nested lists.

The same issue ocurrs in Microsoft Edge, although it causes both nested lists to remain afterwards.

Chrome and Edge behave same. Firefox behaves as expected result in #c1.
