I could not reproduce by reindexing with nm 0.32, so I started using nm
0.32 again. Indeed, I got another mis-threading. I reindexed with nm 0.32
(without downgrading) and the thread got separated correctly again. That
explains why I was not able to create a reproducer. So it seems:

- The mis-threading happens during `notmuch new`, not with `notmuch
  reindex`.
- In this new case (and if I remember correctly also in the others),
  it's always a new message getting worngly put into an existing thread,
  and if I'm not mistaken, the existing thread was tagged as trash
  before in all cases.
