Correction: both the first shape into which the text is flown and the additional shapes that are added via "Flow around" (exclusion) or "Chain flow" get inkscape:use-delete="delete". This means that deleting any "additional" shape also deletes its clone inside the flowtext, and the flowtext reacts by reflowing accordingly. If however you remove the only remaining shape (i.e. all regions are now empty), flowtext must detect this situation and convert itself to text automatically.
