These are not valid workarounds for me. A valid workaround would be to train myself to MOVE an email to the Trash folder rather than use Delete (or find some extension that maps the Delete key and functionality to "Move to Trash").
I find it unacceptable that a certain functionality in TB that worked a certain way since the early days of TB is removed overnight in a minor .2 update and bug 829185 is marked as a duplicate of this bug that has been open for over 3 years with not signs of being fixed any time soon. I think the Trash functionality present before 17.0.2 must be restored in the next 17.0.x update, I consider it a regression.

However, regardless of setting, the item always moved to Trash. This persisted after restart of the client. The settings save, but have no effect. Caveat: This was tested on two Google Apps for Domains accounts, though I suspect this behavior will happen with gmail.com accounts as well.
