I guess Gnus should just deduplicate the subjects?

I only tried S V on articles with different subjects, so I didn't notice
the effect.

That's what the spec says:

   The "In-Reply-To:" field may be used to identify the message (or
   messages) to which the new message is a reply, while the
   "References:" field may be used to identify a "thread" of
   conversation.

    - https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt section 3.6.4

But Gnus only includes the first marked email in In-Reply-To. That
sounds like a bug to be, in S V.

I think S V does that - at least it did in my test.

(Why would you want the new article connected to the previous thread, if
you changed the subject?)

I think I've seen something like that decades ago? Yeah:
