Thanks, Ian.  Actually, BB doesn't use URLs like that.  It uses URLs like:
http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C46C34626.3090706%40gmx.ch%3E

So
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.bazaar-ng.general/0
is actually a URL determined by Gmane's find-root.php script.  I think
this is their issue, but I'm not sure whether they've ever guaranteed
that the find-root script will work.
