Yep. The feature's broken; that's why it's hardly ever used. I talked to bobcast about it a while ago... He said they never use it, but it's been used quite a lot recently.
EDIT: Apparently, it happens more than 'sometimes'. I'll see if I can find the PM in a sec.

When ninjas move threads, sometimes the system hiccups and moves the OP and posts around.
Ah, found them 23 pages back, lol.

Move, however is broken right now. When I move a thread it causes all kinds of post anchor issues, and it essentially scrambles the order of the post within the thread.

Before it was broken, [it was] rarely [used]. Only if had some very good discussion potential. That was totally the moderator's call.
Now, never. It is broken.
I guess they've just stopped caring.
