You remember correctly. I posted this bug report and Theo said a fix is pending in 2.70 - I don't know how many messages that will cause to go missing in the meantime - not sure how big a problem it is OR how they prioritize those things... Personally I'm with you - I think it's a BIG problem with the default threshold being 5, a 4.0 goes a long way towards spam:
