Enigmatic,
Destroying your *own* production costs gold. Pillaging production from newly acquired cities does not.
Personally I think it's kind of silly. It should cost nothing (or a very minor amount) to raze your own city or destroy your own production. After all from the dawn of time defenders burned their crops and cities as they retreated to leave nothing for the invader (Napoleon and Hitler nod their heads in agreement) and starting a fire costs nothing other than the cost of a few matches.
