I don't see any advantage over a pure fighter. You would get a couple of AC bonuses but, as mentioned above, AC becomes irrelevant later in the game. The bonuses to THAC0 would be eclipsed by the fighter's faster progression on the THAC0 table.
And you would lose the Backstab multiplier, which is the main reason I can see for mixing Fighter and Thief classes.
The only advantage would be that you would get the Thieving skills, but that wouldn't be a particular advantage in melee and you could get a slight edge with the Thief/Fighter's Backstab mulitplier.
