It is something with KMail. Turn threading off and on and it threads messages again, but I have no idea where to start looking.
I'm having the same problem on this OpenSUSE laptop, and have never seen it on other distros, so it may be a package bug.

Could be. Some patch skipped?
Kmail has in many releases, (perhaps also in KDE4) an option under the Folder main menu check boxes for Thread messages and Thread messages also by Subject.
The latter was designed to fix broken threading caused by non-compliant emailers (mostly Microsoft) which did not return References headers on replys. That caused thread splitting.
There are just enough people reading this list with broken emailers to split any thread to which they reply.
No, that is definitely not the reason. If it were you would not be able to fix it by disabling threading then re-enabling it. Something is definitely wrong, and it's wrong in the SUSE package. Anne
