They could have made it a little easier by simply allowing "Update library" to remove undetected media directly, no? The update will add new movies, I don't understand why it won't clean it up (with some confirmation, you don't want to erase your whole library if you simply forgot to plug in your USB drive for example).
There is an option to do that, however its something that has to be added to the advancedsettings.xml file to clean the library while doing an update. The reason that option isn't default or easy to enable is for the exact reason you mentioned, it has the potential for a user to inadvertently wipe their library.
Now one could do a manual 'clean library' right from settings after a library update if they wanted. It's just a two-step process unless they want to tweak that advancedsettings.xml file.
Oh, and just to add... great write-up on your experience!
