I don't think Thresh imp gains the life increase normally assigned to unique monsters. This leads me to think that it's a bug (?).
On a Thresh run I did, I killed all imps before I fought him - when he died, a little imp spawned, even though I'm sure there was no imp on Thresh. And no, Thresh imp does not get the life increase, he dies as easily as normal imps. So, I think it is a bug.
This makes him a good hunt for items, especially since it seems the Arreat Summit waypoint is never far away from the Crystalline Passage entrance. On about 50 runs I've got 2 uniques, 2-3 sets, and often at least 1 rare. Those runs take less than a minute (in Normal, anyways) with a good char. If the two boss drops are a feature, it will be abused for sure.
