I didn't see anything patched on there so I am not sure what to review.
git-send-email always for some reason sends the actual patch as a followup. So, look for the first followup to the orig message in the thread...
Hmm, that's not behavior I've ever seen from git send-email. Is the git format-patch --thread option or format.thread config variable set along with the --thread option to git send-email? The defaults generally work.
Now, if we're talking about the ancient 1.x versions in RHEL, maybe the defaults were different. Though even then, I don't recall having this issue.
The one change I can recall that's in the vicinity was from deep nested threads (where each patch was a reply to the previous one) to shallow threads (where each patch in a series is a reply to the cover-letter). That shouldn't come into play at all with a single patch.
Is there a doc covering the process which I could follow and try to reproduce (and hopefully help to avoid this)?
