Sorry, I cannot follow you here. What do you mean with that it often
tries to receive every available header?

Hm, ok. Here I would expect the parent (your opening question), too.

Isn't that the behaviour you were looking for?
BTW: I use
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some)
which fetches only those old headers needed to prevent loose threads
(all old headers till a common parent article is found). That's more
concise and expresses this thread's structure as well.
