This isn't an SDL limitation, on platforms where you have to do that, 
it's a platform limitation. As far as I'm aware, SDL doesn't care _what_ 
thread you use (but if the underlying platform will screw up, it can't 
help you)...so as a general guideline, SDL's documentation tells you not 
to do it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck to you as well.
