 Hello and welcome to the WordPress trac. I've done some testing on your
 ticket and I think I've narrowed this to an issue in the JavaScript code.

 If you copy the 'delete link' into a new browser window it does indeed
 delete the theme from the server, the link looks something like this:

 http://localhost/dev/src/wp-
 admin/themes.php?action=delete&stylesheet=twentyeleven&_wpnonce=a892cea026

 However, in normal operation the click on that link is intercepted and
 precessed by JavaScript and it seems it is that bit that's broken.
