I couldn't say that messages have been moved, however if messages are set
followup-to another group, then we obviously have a chance of hitting this
issue.
I have yet to find a regularity with this behavior, since we have quite a large
number of such followup-to cases, and most of them seem to work just fine. Then
again, identifying message threads is not just the easiest thing under the sun,
so eventually it may be just the hit'n'miss you mentioned, although the other

Well that's an easy one: The links were just malformatted on message creation.
If you look at the message source (or if your browser displays the link in the
status line) you'll see the difference. The links in that message simply cannot
work. If you need to follow the links, you can copy-paste the links and remove
everything before the second "http".
