I occasionally look at the digest when away from home email and have noticed

My recent PDML London posting appeared, seemingly randomly, in the middle of
something over a week old as though it was a reply to another topic.
Not a big deal, but I'd be interested if anyone could explain how the digest
is supposed to work.
do you mean the digest mailings or the list archives?
if the former, i don't know except i avoid digest mailings since they
are usually strictly chronological (last i looked was probably 10 years
ago, though); there are tools to "burst" digests into individual
messages once they reach your mailbox, which might help rethread them
(depending on whether the threading headers are preserved in the digest)
if the latter, e.g.:
<http://pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2009-September/thread.html>
you'll see broken threads because some people's mail clients don't
correctly handle the normally-invisible headers (In-Reply-To, etc.) that
keep threads together; if you use a threaded view in your own mail
client, the threads may seem more cohesive because some mail clients use
matching titles as well as the threading headers
