I spoke with paul on IRC about this.

It is intentional that children need to have some sort of prefix in the subject
indicating a reply.

However, it is bizzare how folder_item_scan_full tries to propagate ignored
thread marks (but not e.g. watched thread marks) and does so only by subject
(so not by in-reply-to). And will do so both up and down the thread tree (so if
you ignored a sub-thread, congratulations, the whole thread is now ignored --
but only e-mails from people on the thread didn't use in-reply-to.

The correct fix is to rip out that messed up logic, and if it is desired to
propagate these marks in scan_full then use the logic for building up threads
correctly that is from the threaded view in the summary, then walk the tree and
propagte to children.

I can submit a patch that does the "Right Thing" or just rip out the broken
ignore-thread code, depending on whether or not people think that unmarked
children of {watched|ignored} threads should be marked likewise
