I'm not convinced - I don't get the problem with other Pan users, though
it could be a combination of Pan and gmane.

It's less worse than all the others, and sub-optimal at best. I don't
have reliable internet - and I've gotten used to having a large
repository of searchable reference material. So I want to keep a local
copy of everything. And because I'm too cheap to download something twice.
I'm dreading leaving Icedove - I have close to 4GB of mail and a
complicated filter and action setup (Tonequilla)

No. I'm convinced it's in my setting somewhere. That it only occurs with
your emails doesn't negate my being the only one to experience the issue.
I've try kmail on a Virtualbox machine if I get a chance later - if that
does the same thing I'll try changing my locale settings.

I've got no excuse, I've seen your email address often enough. Brain was
not involved.

All good(-ish). If the same email displays headers in a different mail
client I will have isolated the cause.

Nope - just the usual PHP error codes.
And rabbits. (I really should wash that dratted dog).
