I have found a solution that works. My original problem with premature 
evaluation of f is easily solved by doing Thread[F[...]] /. F -> f 
instead of Thread[f[...]].

There were some other problems however. In case anyone is interested, 
this is what I've now come up with.

ThreadOptions[f_[args___, opts___?OptionQ], spec___] :=
  Module[{fth=Thread[F[args], spec], oth},
   If[Head[fth]===F, F[args,opts],
    oth = Inner[#2->#1&, Thread[{opts}[[All,2]], {opts}[[All,1]], seq];
    Which[ Head[oth]===seq, Append[#, oth]& /@ fth,
           Length[oth]==Length[fth], Inner[Append, fth, oth, List],
           True, ERROR
         ]  /. seq -> Sequence
    ]
   ] /. F -> f

I realise one could possibly do this in a less cumbersome way by 
transforming, e.g.,

  f[a, {b,c}, Opt -> {1,2}]

to

  f[a, {b,c}, {1,2}],

then applying Thread, and then putting the "Opt ->" rules back in. 
However, in that case one couldn't honour the optional parameters in 
Thread; and also then f[a, Opt->{1,2}] would become
{f[a, Opt->1], f[a, Opt->2]} which I don't really want (i.e. a function 
will thread over only its options, even if it doesn't thread over its 
other arguments).
