On macosxhints, there are now over 50 comments on this topic. Really, all you need is write permission to the directory and then you can delete any file within it. Alternatively, this can be done a many number of ways beside an applescript.

And of course, this notion of a "new" vulnerability is simply absurd. As long as there's been Applescript, there's been the potential to write an applet that deletes stuff and put a fake icon on it. Heck, in OS 9 and earlier, you could trash the system file with ease.
