Hmm...it works for me. I put this in threadbit as a test:

<if condition="$thread['open']"> 
Thread open
<else />
Thread closed
</if>

and it correctly tells whether or not the thread is open. Maybe I misunderstood what you're trying to do.

ETA:...also, in showthread.php there is:

$show['closethread'] = iif($threadinfo['open'], true, false);

which is why I think $thread['open'] is equivalent to $show['closethread'].
