--delete is already not supposed to delete anything if there are any errors
on the sending machine.  Are you in particular concerned about errors on
the receiving machine?  I've never used --delete-after, but in looking at
the code it looks it should move all the deletes to after all the files
have been received.  Can you itemize a series of simple steps, starting
from scratch, that demonstrates the problem you're seeing?
