In rmail-summary-by-topic, if (rmail-simplify-subject) returns a
string with a comma, that is taken as a comma-separated list of
different things to search for. Thus, it finds messages whose
subject is just a part of this message's subject.

I wrote a FIXME comment about this 5 years ago:
;; FIXME "a string of regexps separated by commas" makes no sense because:
;; i) it's pointless (you can just use \\|)
;; ii) it's broken (you can't specify a literal comma)
;; rmail-summary-by-topic and rmail-summary-by-senders have the same issue.
I suggest just dumping this "separated by commas" idea.
Ie, you would have to write "foo\\|bar" like in any other regexp.
