I've seen that in other threads, some many years old. I've always thought that it originates when one poster manually deletes a thread title in a reply, and then anyone who replies to that will suffer the same fate (except their posts will still start with "RE:"). I never considered it was a bug per se.
Cheers, Eric

Yes, that's right. Although a bit clumsy, it's not the topic title, it's the subject of the latest reply that is shown in that place - this is however copied from the thread title in the second post on a thread. The third post copies the title of the second post and so on. So, if someone during the thread nukes the title (in this specific case, see the post at Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:54 pm) then the next title is "Re:" and the next "Re: Re:" and so on.

Hope that explains. It's just how it works.
