Here is an excerpt of my rmail summary buffer. The point is on
message number 7840.

Doing C-M-t RET -i.e. choosing default subject as the topic
returns: No previous message. More generally,
rmail-summary-by-topic is rather unreliable since less than 50%
of the time it will return correct results. I do not see how to
debug that.
I will try with edebug-defun on every part of the
rmail-summary-by-topic function.

One problem is that rmail-summary-by-topic does not regexp-quote the
default expression to search for. This leads to the confusing result
that you can fail to find the current message, if the subject happens
to contain regexp special characters, eg "[ ]" in your example.
The patch for that is trivial, and seems like the right thing to do.
The "no previous message" message indicates that more care needs to be
taken somewhere when there are no matches.
