I would personally be happy with this as the guarantee (it covers dict literals and handles PEP 468), but it might be more confusing. "dicts are in arbitrary order" and "dicts maintain insertion order" are fairly simple to explain, "dicts maintain insertion order up to the point that a key is deleted" is less so.
