I think you shouldn't use 1.1.1 (default verndor branch tag).  Most
easy way is to specify the most recent release tag (i9709xx in your
case) instead.  The file you have deleted doesn't have that tag, so
there is no deletion diff (diffs between nothing and nothing is
nothing).

At least you can checkin revison 1.1.1.3 with state `dead' by playing
with RCS file directly.  I don't know how to this in CVS manner.
