Its because the original ACL extension (RFC 2086) was vague on which 
right controlled DELETE.  Some implementations like Cyrus tie it to the 
'c' (CREATE) right.  Others tie it to the 'd' (set \Deleted flag on 
messages) right.

There is an update to RFC 2086 which is currently being worked on in the 
imapext WG that has separate rights for all of these.  As soon as the 
draft is stabilized, we will go ahead and implement it.
