I suspect that you're coming at this from the arch viewpoint in which if
you tagged B off of A and then deleted A, then B became useless.  Bzr
doesn't have this problem. You can safely destroy a branch once you've
branched off of it or merged it without causing any problems.

At this point I'd just say that a branch once deleted is gone forever.
However, John provides some really neat instructions on how you can at
least partially reconstitute a branch you have deleted.
