Currently, I believe the transactions from the invalid block are not recovered (I think it is on the roadmap: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/1155). In practice those transactions will still be floating around the P2P network if the block is really invalid, and another delegate will include them.

So if a delegate signs a block that is not valid how is that handled by the rest of the Delegates?  Is the invalid transaction removed and then the valid transactions are just added to a new block.  Then the other Delegates ignore the invalid block?

that's about right
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

I speak for myself and only myself.
