I had the same problem, and the solution was to delete the entries using the Keychain Access tool, found in Applications → Utilities. You can search for the entry there, remove it, and then it will be deleted from Safari as well.


(I had to do this when I changed my email address on Amazon, and all the auto-login pages had the old email addresses and wouldn't update. I tried to delete them from Safari's passwords dialog and ran into the problem you described).


Note that this question provides the same answer in more detail.

In case someone else comes across this. I think this occurs when there are multiple programs that are using this username/password. I had the same issue when I had the password saved/used by both chrome and safari. After I deleted it from Chrome I was able to then delete it from Safari. You can check this in Keychain access by clicking on the password line and then checking "access control".
