There'll only ever be one OS thread in an interpreter at any one time, though I suppose it's possible an interpreter could move from one thread to another. I'd rather not, though)
As I understand it modperl2 does this dynamic rebinding of perl interpreters to threads, so I expect that they'd like to be able to do in parrot, for whatever reasons they found it useful with perl5.
That works. The only reason I can think to not do this is for external libraries that have thread-dependencies, since migrating the interpreter wouldn't migrate the TLS.
