That's a strange bug.  Will have to look at it another time.

Right now, it's a combination of strict threading based on
references/in-reply-to and exact subject matching by hash.
It could be possible to disable the subject matching part...

But that case is a strange bug which I'll have to examine more
closely another time (maybe later this week, but more likely
next).
