Comment:

 Confirmed. Looks like this has been around for awhile, not new to 4.0.

 I started working on a patch of the `wp_prepare_themes_for_js` function in
 `wp-admin/includes/theme.php` (to remove the delete link from the UI) but
 then it occurred to me perhaps this should be built into the
 `delete_theme()` function instead. For comparison, it looks like the
 equivalent function for deleting plugins throws an error if an attempt to
 delete an active plugin is made, but `delete_theme()` does not.
