I've noticed this behaviour too but I think it is a consequence of the
sub-threads not having a common ancestor in the References: header,
they are then correctly separated into individual sub-threads and
sorted according to whatever sort criterion is selected. If you sort by
subject then they are all lumped into one contiguous group of threads,
if you sort by date then they are spread out.

I see this as a feature because I really hate kludges like group
threads by subject.
