Dired 7.9 bug: Dired buffers not refreshing after changes

In a dired buffer I do "d x yes RET" to delete a file, but the filename
remains in the buffer.  Similarly if I do "R newname RET" to rename a
file then the old name remains in the buffer.  The behaviour I would
expect (as dired-refresh-automatically is t) is for the buffer to be
updated in line with the change.  This is what happens with the
dired.el that comes with Emacs-20.3.
