If is not a bug, maybe you can add a "--delete" option for incremental backups in WHM...
On one hand, if you delete a file accidentally, it's always a relief to be able to grab it from a backup. On the other hand, if you remove an index.html and replace it with an index.php later on then restore the incremental backup that has both index.html and index.php... that can be frustrating (in addition to a waste of disk space).

As a result, the current feature request for this has this as an optional setting: Bug 7665 - cpbackup incremental option to remove old content
