I think I know why this happens.
The newsgroup overview shows only the N most recent posts (25 by
default) and seems to first get those posts and _then_ sort them by
thread. This results in subthreads whose common 'ancestor' post is not
in the N most recent posts getting split up.
This may look a bit weird, but I think it makes sense: who wants to get
a 500 post thread back because a single post was added?
Also, note that the thread overview in below the text of a post seems to
show the entire thread.
