It makes perfect sense:
The Thalmor want to unmake the world. But from their position as an extremist fringe group in Altmer society, they don't have the power to do so. Then they hear about these crazy Mythic Dawn folks who are trying to let Mehrunes Dagon into the world. Some genius of a Thalmor thinks, "Hey, we should totally help these guys. When they unleash Oblivion we will step in to save the day, making us heroes and allowing us to take control of the government. Worst case scenario: we fail and the world gets destroyed; which is what we want anyway." So they help some Mythic Dawn assassinate the Emperor and all of his heirs, knowing that without the Amulet of Kings, there will be no protection...except for them.
The plan would weaken the hated Empire of man and allow the Thalmor the opportunity to gain control, since they are aware of the plan in advance.
Its not like no one has colluded with Daedra before to further personal ends...*cough* TESO *cough* 2290 *cough*.
