I handle my iPhone photos exactly the same way as you do and I just had this same issue and figured it out. If you go to "Settings" "iCloud" "Photos" and then disable "iCloud Photo Album (Beta)" it should let you bulk delete the pictures from your phone. You may have to unplug and plug back in. This fixed it for me and hopefully it is the cause for you, too, so you can disable it and have your bulk delete functionality back.
