In my opinion, that is quite lame. Why increase the burden on moderators unnecessarily? Most forums in my experience allow one to delete mistaken threads as a matter of course... Surely the option would be subject to the same 30 minute (?) rule on post edits, and would be disabled if there are any replies.
I agree it's a pain in the butt and I, too, wish it wasn't necessary. Based on past experience, though, this setting will save the moderators time and headaches when fights occur. The reasoning is it's much easier to delete threads than it is to moderate a complaint when evidence has disappeared. If you send me a pm with links to the threads, I'll be happy to delete them.
