I thought it was very odd since I'd never met him before. That made me think there was cut content for him.

I never knew about this dialogue, the few runs where I sided with Minthara have always been before exploring the Underdark. I wouldn't be surprised if there originally was more content planned with him, either way I think it's a shame we can't get him as an ally.
