Copying the -dev list on this.  See the whole thread here:

Hmmm, not a bad idea, but won't that cause problems as themes get 
updated and images get added/removed/changed ?  In any event it would 
be nice for the code to do the right thing.

(to the -dev list):  is there a good reason for this behavior?  If not, 
I'll look into patching it to not delete the theme cache, or at least 
maybe to come up with a better way of determining if a theme cache is 
truly 'stale'.
