Help is on the way:

    /*
     * Remove an element and any immediatley preceding whitespace
     */
    Element e = ....
    List content = e.getParent().getContent();
    int index = content.indexOf(e);
    content.remove(index);
    if (index > 0
         && content.get(index - 1) instanceof Text
         && ((Text) content.get(index - 1)).getTextTrim().length() == 0) {
       content.remove(index - 1);
    }
