Now it makes more sense. I SEE our mechs chasing der hanger threads, maybe
just figured if they saw a particularly "clean" one they might skip it.
I'll find out the deal anyway, but might not "report my findings" here on
le Forume.. just because...it'll be taken care of or already is, whatever.
Derailleur is in. Thanks for all the advice folks!
Exacto on the first couple of threads to get it started was a pain in the
butt, but helped a lot in my case. I tried Grant's method of going in from
the inside as well.

If der is reluctant from outside, try it from inside, which tends to have
less paint. Then (need I say? hope not...) go at it again from the
outside. It's an M10 x 1 thread, we have taps, but if it isn't visually
thick with paint, just a little, we leave it. In my history, the thinking
was
You're worried for no reason. Still, a sharp Exacto knife around where the
threads start to remove paint has worked well in the past though not on the
derailleur hanger per se.

Without the time to find a thread tap to chase paint from those threads, I
once took an old axle of the same threading I had and used a Dremel to run
a few notches across the threads (without distorting them) to create a
hanger thread chaser. Wouldn't straighten up wankered threading, but it
I had no choice on my canti Sam. The derailleur would NOT thread in.
