I'm not sure if we should call this an error/bug.

I think externals were designed to operate only on committed nodes.

This has the nice side effect that when you remove the externals definition
it gets removed later on.

Once we start parsing externals from property definitions that are only
edited locally we break this nice feature of automatically removing the
externals.

Note that we already started breaking this feature a bit before this patch,
because we now check externals definitions on added nodes.
(Which now has issues of its own; see issue #3819)
