Courtesy deleted by Jimbo do not ammount to a "right to vanish", they are simply courtesies.

Lucky 6.9's actions are valid; the right to vanish allows a user in

No it does not since the talk page doesn't really belong to that user and is part of the communities' records.
In practice we seem to take a "possibly" approach.

In general I'd prefer that talk pages be kept, but Jimbo has made courtesy deletes of both user and user talk pages under right to vanish on a couple occasions, and I've seen other admins do it without much of a fuss.
