I'd say, it's the other way round… if you delete a LUN via stmfadm 
delete-lu, that will also delete it's views, which can be annoying, if 
you then want to re-import the LUN from the rolled back snapshot, no?

If you want to keep the view, which is what I usually want to do, just 
run stmfadm delete-lu -k <LU> to keep the view. That way, you can then 
re-import the LUN on the rolled back dataset and won't have to re-create 
the view for it.

Cheers,
Stephan
