When I hit 'c', the debugger just exited.

OK. Thanks.

Ah. I had used an empty References header, since if I just delete it,
Gnus reinserts one when I send the message. I don't know how to make a
message with an In-Reply-To header, but without a References header
using Gnus.

I tried the following, which might be a faulty method: I copied the
message ('B c'), and edited it, ('e'), deleting the empty
References. When I eval-ed gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent, it
said the same as before, that is,

gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent (extra tracking) traced subject Ibsens 
ripsbusker to group nnmaildir:mail.foo
gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent: too many extra matches for nil
nil

Perhaps it doesn't make much sense. It just that I knew how to make an
empty References, but now how to delete it.
