Comment #1 on issue 103 by [email protected]: Python thread are not running in background
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=103
Wondering whether it depends on the kind of code that is executed in the thread. I did successfully launch threads that are only sleeping and then incrementing variable in background on amd64 (and unsuccessfully on arm with the same code, observing the same behavior your report here).
For this particular problem (and almost any of this kind) there is a workaround though: just use multiprocessing module (+ don’t forget about disabling all vim signal handlers in spawned process and terminating the process on VimLeave event in parent process).
