So, one, GMail's Conversation View *isn't* threading. A conversation is centered around a subject or topic. If that subject changes, GMail opens up a separate conversation. For instance, the "Upgrade Bugzilla" is a separate subject than "Gmail threading finally working!". This is a feature, not a bug, as many people just mash "Reply All" to start a new topic.
If you're curious as to the horrors of the headers, jwz has a long post here:
http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.htmlThere are people trying to implement the GMail Conversation View in e.g. Thunderbird, who say why the headers aren't good, or how they fail:
