Hmm... I'll look into it.

Thanks for bisecting. Putting me in the Cc was more trouble than
anything else: it means I get *your* message instead of the one from
Debbugs, so I don't get to know the bug-number and a naive reply would
end up creating a new bug-nb!
[ Tho, IIRC Glenn(?) added some Message-ID matching to Debbugs to try
and catch those cases. So maybe it's not that bad. ]
Better either not put the person in the Cc (in case you expect/know the
person subscribes to bug-gnu-emacs), or else use "X-Debbugs-Cc:" which
instructs Debbugs to add the person to the Cc of the messages it sends out.
Yes, it's an annoying subtlety,
Stefan
