With <http://n2.nabble.com/The-Guiding-Light-Message-Board-f529340.html> as a starting point, the bug may bite topics with any of the following characters in their subject line:

: (colon) (example)
' (apostrophe) (example)
! (exclamation mark) (example)
( or ) (opening or closing parentheses) (example)
$ (dollar) (example)

Maybe not bugged:

? (example)
; (example)
/ (example)

Failures and passes in IE 7 echo the failures and passes in Safari.

To the list of characters that may be associated with the bug, I add:

" (speech mark) (example)

Comparison: Mixed View format

In fora such as <http://n2.nabble.com/Chandler-Project%3A-selected-lists-f1653096.html> and <http://n2.nabble.com/OpenOffice.org-projects%3A-selected-lists-f1803106.html> where format is Mixed View, references from the Last Post column seem to be fine.

When focused on a single forum (choose any of the four from those two mixed views) the bug may bite.
