I'm on Lion 10.7.3 and started out with 10.7.2 before that for a brief
period.  I never had any problems with threaded messages I us this
approach with all mailers I work with on all platforms.  My only
complaint right now with Mail is the message getting marked read when
you highlight it on the message list.  I like being able to hop back
and forth with VO-J but that comes with the baggage of marking the
message as read by merely selecting.  I guess I can't have both ways
at the same time <sigh>.  Everything else seems to be OK from what
I've dealt with so far.
