In the position editor, I accidentally deleted the white king, but the evaluation bar said only 46.8 in black's favour with white still in with a chance of winning.

if you play from this position, it says 'M9' ??

I think it's because the initial position is impossible to obtain in a game, so the evaluation's assumptions are violated, making the answer nonsensical. There is no move that White can make to get mate/checkmate, because it is already there.

After this move, it says 'M1'
