Comment(by azaozz):

 Yes action "move to trash" together with Empty Trash button on that screen
 seem consistent.

 The spam status is close to unapproved/pending and is usually set by a
 plugin. It's there so the user can "un-spam" false positives and it needs
 all default actions available. The trash status is a result from an used
 action after the user has decided what to do with that comment.

 More importantly we have to decide what to do with the comments when a
 post is deleted. Perhaps can show them in the comments trash with greyed
 out "Return to Pending" action and add an explanation at the top that some
 comments cannot be recovered as the post they belong to is in the trash.
