I don't want beta.example.com indexed, so I've set robots.txt to disallow all crawling and lodged a removal request for the whole domain, which is no longer seen as pending.

Google Webmaster Tools exists to help you to improve your site's visibility on Google -- it's not a general purpose website console. In that context, disallowing all crawling is indeed a "severe health issue", as it means that your site is not visible on Google at all. Since that's what you wanted, the solution is simply to stop worrying about it.
