I would panic very badly at first; the thought gave me a nasty jolt and I had some sympathy for markf. But (and this was within fifteen seconds or less) my next thought was "Wait, if it were attributing it to my username, it wouldn't attribute it to my Facebook name.
Basically, all the content I really care about is in my own journal. Rather, the content that I care about duplication of. My content in journals of others, I would care if it were removed -- in fact, I'd be cranky if someone, user or community, picked up roots and moved elsewhere, so that it's not actually possible to find things where they used to be.
Facebook in particular, I would be reasonably incensed if a group actually moved there, deleting their former presence, because it's basically impossible to go into the past on Facebook if you don't have the direct link to where something-or-other happened. Ditto Twitter. I'm used to browsable archives on Danga-descended software.
I am still in favor of a "screen all my comments" feature that an OpenID user could toggle, for their privacy.
