Subject: bug#42334: 28.0.50; gnus-thread-sort-functions vs. loose threads

Hello,
I try to configure gnus-thread-sort-functions so that threads are sorted
from least recently updated (at the top) to most recently updated (at
the bottom):
#+begin_src elisp
(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-number
(not gnus-thread-sort-by-most-recent-date)))
#+end_src
The above works as intended most of the time, except when loose threads
are involved. To reproduce:
- copy the attached emacs-devel.mbox to /tmp,
- copy the attached init.el somewhere,
- install gnus-mock from ELPA,
- evaluate the following, with init.el in default-directory:
#+begin_src elisp
(let ((gnus-mock-init-file (expand-file-name "init.el"))
(gnus-mock-emacs-program (expand-file-name "src/emacs" source-directory)))
(package-initialize)
(gnus-mock-start))
#+end_src
This produces the following summary buffer:

AFAICT, the first thread should be sorted last, since it has been
updated more recently than the second thread. What leads me to believe
that this issue is linked to loose threads is that if we ask Gnus not to
gather those…
#+begin_src elisp
;; Evaluate:
(setq gnus-summary-make-false-root nil)
;; Then refresh with M-g.
#+end_src
… then the issue goes away:

Is this indeed a bug, or am I missing something?
Thank you for your time.
PS: when playing with this example, if you happen to set
gnus-summary-make-false-root to 'dummy, and notice that both the dummy
root *and* the first message display the subject line, note that I
already sent a report (and a patch) over at bug#40520.
