#3008: Odd behavior in mutt-thread patch?

Comment (by pdmef):

 Confirmed. The cause is either a) a bug in the ~v implementation or b)
 wrong documentation for ~v: ~v seems to only match if the message is the
 root of a collapsed (sub)thread, not an arbitrary message within one, see
 changeset #833.

 That's also why
 {{{
 color index brightred default "~(~F) ~(~v)"
 }}}
 works: for a given thread it matches if a) this thread has flagged
 messages and b) if it's collapsed. Note that this is not the same thing as
 {{{
 color index brightred default "~(~F ~v)"
 }}}
 which would match if the thread contains a message that a) is flagged and
 b) is the root of a collapsed (sub)thread. As b) will likely never occur,
 this one will never match.
