It appears to be from a Google webmail account.  Doesn't particularly 
surprise me.  After all, they can't seem to reliably honor a user 
attempting to permanently turn off HTML for a particular to-address, why 
would they be expected to be much better at reliably getting the 
references headers correct?  (Note that I didn't state anything about the 
possibility of the problem being a PEBKAC.  I've never used it, so can 
only go on what I frequently see happening to users who have stated 
they've turned it off repeatedly for some list.)
