Sort of:

I'm not sure this would be considered a bug.  Gmail calls this a
"conversation" view as you said, not a threaded view.  If you define a
conversation as a group of messages with the same subject, then this
is the right behavior.  That said, I do find this annoying.  Maybe we
could lobby for a "strict threading" option that does use the
reference headers instead of just the subject.  If enough people
suggest it, maybe it will get done.  Other than this annoyance, I find
Gmail's interface to be well suited to mailing lists.
