That's not enough, you need to do (gnus-registry-initialize).  The
registry won't be a Gnus feature formally until after the current
release is out of beta, that's why it's not in the manual.

Before you do that, can you send me a trace of the problem?  Do M-x
toggle-debug-on-error and you'll get a trace.

No, this is fine.  You may also want tracking by subject, but that's
optional and experimental.

Usually, yes, this will group threads together.  It doesn't work with
some MUAs that don't preserve the References header, though.
