I confirmed what you're seeing [1].  A non-admin can use `nova list 
--deleted` and it's not an error but non-deleted instances are returned. 
  But a non-admin can't use `nova list --status=deleted` because only 
admins can perform that operation since the REST API code explicitly 
checks the context.
