I was looking into this recently, and from what I have seen, threading
is still broken in the web archive, just not as broken as I see it in
Gnus.

There is indeed a mismatch in the references. Gnus here handles this by
starting a new thread. The web archive still keeps the reply in the same
thread, but the "missing" message-id shows up in the tree there as
"Message not available".

Here (through USENET) the message-id for your post is:
Message-ID: <mailman.2336.1539814909.1284.help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>
