I have never before seen a report like this. Since it occurs for a new
list, there is apparently something wrong with the Mailman
installation itself. If it were a problem with the Ubuntu package, I
think it would have been seen elsewhere, so I think it's likely
specific to your installation, but I have no idea what might cause it.

Pipermail does threading by Message-ID and by In-Reply-To and
References: headers, so assuming that those are normal and people
aren't hijacking threads, I haven't a clue.
