I want to add that I can reproduce this bug consistently on Thunderbird 3.0.3 on Windows XP Pro by doing the following:

* Make sure preview pane is disabled (F8)
* Move a selected email to the Trash bin from Local Folders, either by dragging it or by selecting it and hitting the Delete key
* Right click on Trash > select "Empty Trash"
* Exit Thunderbird by clicking on Close window button (X in upper right corner)
* Restart Thunderbird
* Message pane reactivates

This does not happen if I do the following:

* Make sure preview pane is disabled (F8)
* Move a selected email to the Trash bin from Local Folders by right clicking on the email and selecting "Move to 'Trash' Again"
* Right click on Trash > select "Empty Trash"
* Exit Thunderbird by clicking on Close window button (X in upper right corner)
* Restart Thunderbird
* Message pane reactivates

However, the behavior is not consistent with the second method. Sometimes the preview pane will reactivate, sometimes it won't.
