I just realized this only happens when the messages aren't sorted by thread -
sorting by date, for example.
I still think it's a bug.

My sorting (and otherwise vanilla) setup is: Date, Descending, Threaded, and the
bug also happens for me.  Very frustrating.
Also, as mentioned in bug 282992, Ignore thread and watch thread are disabled
when multiple messages are selected.
