A similar thing happened with Natural Born Killers. The release date was due to have been around the same time as the appalling Dunblane massacre. Warner Bros actually asked the BBFC to reconsider passing it (which they couldn't do as they'd already granted it an uncut certificate), so in the end they cancelled the release themselves (for around 5 years).
The only Tarantino film to have suffered BBFC edits has been Pulp Fiction and that was simply a reframing shot (it's still cut today to my knowledge due to the same print being released).
I agree with Angel regarding Man Bites Dog. It isn't particularly explicit in detail and wouldn't have posed a major problem then.
