Description

I've been using `s4cmd del -n` recently for dry-runs before deleting objects, and have seen it actually deleting the objects. The behavior seems sporadic. I've seen it with and without `-r, --recursive` and with and without wildcards in the path, but it appears that perhaps this behavior occurs more frequently with recursion and wildcards?

I'm using version 2.0.1

```
$ pip show s4cmd

Research direction

Start by reproducing `s4cmd del -n` with and without `--recursive` and wildcards on the reported version, then trace the delete command's dry-run handling. Done means each of these forms consistently reports intended deletions without deleting any objects; the issue names no source file or test.
