You should specify an event node in the 'drop node' slonik command.
Something like:

try {
      drop node (id = 1, event node = 2);
  } on error {
      echo 'Failed to drop node 1 from cluster';
      exit 1;
  }

In your case, node 2 should be the node that the event is generated
on. Without an explicit 'event node' parameter, it'll default to 1.
