Confirmed.

You're right, when applying a filter on selected messages with a
hotkey, no filtering conditions (including the search string, and
conditions in the advanced pane) would be used, IF the source folder
is the same as the destination folder, UNLESS the option "Check the
selected messages against this rule" is checked. Confusing? You bet.
And this is designed behavior, not a bug. (Speaking with a straight
face. :-| ) What happened to parked messages in your case is
accidental: parked messages can't be deleted with a filter no matter
what (before unparking it first), not because TB abides to the
condition you set.
A bit of history (from someone with a little more than 2 month's
experience):
It's long been lamented that TB's filters, with all its prowess,
couldn't be used without moving messages to a certain folder. Hence
RIT designed sort of a backdoor trick as described above. (Or it's
been there all long, I don't know.) So you may set both the source
folder and the destination folder to Inbox, and apply the filter to
other folders with a hotkey without those messages being moved to
Inbox. IOW, pressing the hotkey would simply do the designated
"actions" on selected messages, with no regard to any other
condition.
For your purpose, enable the ""Check the selected messages against
this rule" will do. Theoretically, it would make TB move the matched
messages to the destination folder (even if it's the same as the
source folder), but it won't be a problem here since TB execute the
"delete" action first, hence no messages left to move.
