This is by design--the pool of potential domain admins (as found in
the "select domain admin" dropdown list) are selected from the users
that the server admin creates directly. That is, users whose "domain"
is the server hostname may become domain admins. Once those users no
longer have domains associated with them, they will return to be just
plain old end users of the server admin (but may become domain admins
again someday).

I don't think we'd ever delete a domain admin because they no longer
administer domains, but we would consider something to the "no domains
associated with user" effect. In the meantime, think of any end user
in the server hostname domain as a candidate for domain admin.
