Well, I know that basically a thread is a wikipage with the Thread namespace. However, the actual thread filenames (the numbers you see in the url) is generated when the thread is created and never changed. This is so that threads can be renamed much more easily without breaking lots of things, like a pagemove does. However, this also means that the thread title has to be stored somewhere within the page, and this data must somehow be either getting corrupted (and then removed by some other kind of filter), or just being deleted for whatever reason. As to why, I have no idea.
