If gmail handles that kind of "multithreads" "correctly" it actually
doesn't do its job very good.
Thunderbird (and probably many other clients) recognize threads by the
header lines (examples of your mail) "Message-ID"
(<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) and
"In-Reply-To" (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
This way threading is independent of potentially changed subjects
(representing the various positions in a discussion or starting points
for a solution).

GMail doesn't do threading per se, it does "conversations" which are a
different idiom and implemented in a different way. GMail looks at
message IDs but I don't think it always honors it in its conversations.
I think it also takes contextual clues such as subject line and quantity
of quoted text.
