Setting --max-delayed-threads to 1 doesn't prevent more than
one insert delayed thread handler from invoking:

(rhols221:/my/bk/mysql-4.0) ./sql/mysqld --delayed_queue_size=1 --max-delayed-threads=1&
[1] 28752
(rhols221:/my/bk/mysql-4.0) 030307  9:58:42  InnoDB: Started
./sql/mysqld: ready for connections

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin var|grep -e delayed_q -e max_d|sed s/" "//g;
|delayed_queue_size|1|
|max_delayed_threads|1|

(rhols221:/my/bk/mysql-4.0) mysql test

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 13 to server version: 4.0.11-gamma-debug

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create table t2 (i int);

mysql> lock tables t1 write, t2 write;

Then, in another window, leaving above as it is:

Then, in third window, leaving above as are:

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> insert delayed into t1 values (2);

This one locks up. It's waiting for the first insert delay
to relief it, because max rows for insert delay was set to 1.

Then, in fourth window, leaving all above as are:
-------------------------------------------------

(rhols221:~) mysql test

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

mysql> insert delayed into t2 values(1);

This should have been converted to regular INSERT, but obviously
it went as INSERT DELAYED. Let's see in a window how mysqladmin
extended looks:

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin ex|grep Dela
| Delayed_insert_threads         | 2     |
| Delayed_writes                 | 0     |
| Delayed_errors                 | 0     |

Delayed_insert_threads comes 2, even when:

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin var|grep -e delayed_q -e max_d|sed s/" "//g;
|delayed_queue_size|1|
|max_delayed_threads|1|
