The decision to not show “move to new PM” option for moderators was made explicitly in:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dc2776bcddc07e69e5a4ab92526f6238f3a5ccd7

This is because the moderators do not have permission to see PMs and the relevant code will fail at:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/310952fd6a2fb74127175486bb0d6723640a274d/app/models/post_mover.rb#L66
