Bilel,

We had this problem in openstack during our floating ip implementation
of heat (http://www.heat-api.org).  We solved it by using the floating
ip.delete api in nova.  See:

https://github.com/heat-api/heat/blob/master/heat/engine/eip.py
line 118

The program flow on delete is:
delete an instance
wait for instance to disappear
delete floating ip
