And tm 7.105, I forgot to add.

I thought that tm might be the culprit here, so I first tried toggling
it off without seeing any change in the behaviour.  I then started up
a brand new emacs without tm (I had to load tm's emu-e19.el to be able
to make 5.4.67 run on 19.34, tho... Maybe because it was loaded when
Gnus was byte compiled?), and observed the same behaviour:

The new References field doesn't show up when I toggle all headers
or when I edit the article.  "Fetch parent" reports "No references
in...".

But grep finds a References header in the rethreaded article...

I'm clueless...:-/
