You tried the second method and it does that?

It works for me, just tested it on 0.9

function delete_own_post($retvalue, $capability, $args) {

if ($capability=="delete_post") {return bb_current_user_can( 'edit_post', $args[1]);}

return $retvalue;

}

add_filter('bb_current_user_can', 'delete_own_post',10,3);

.

Note that the delete ability times out with the edit ability (1 hour in default install).
