If I copy the References to after the Subject it works. I cannot reproduce this with Emacs built 3 days ago (which is 2 days after you built yours). Does this happen to you in "emacs -Q"? If you can reproduce this in "emacs -Q", please show a message that consistently causes you this problem. The one you posted with the original report already has Message-ID: _after_ the Subject, and does not have any References header.
