No, I'm an idiot. It was a red herring -- looking at the wrong groups at
the wrong time. The actual problem seems to be that thread sorting works
correctly in all groups except my "mail.*" groups. Works right in
nnmairix groups and my nntp groups, but not mail.anything.

I've lost my confidence here, though -- unless the above rings any
bells, let me stare at it for a day or so in case I'm still interpreting
things incorrectly.

Thanks and apologies,
