After trying and failing on FreeBSD and Ubuntu to build from latest Git 
version,  I deleted gmime26 (only Pan requires it), installed gmime24 and edit 
the FreeBSD port Makefile for Pan to look for gmime24 instead of gmime26.

Replies are now threading correctly and MIDs in the References: headers are 
split correctly, ie NOT in the middle of the MID.

Whether this is a gmime26 problem, a Pan problem or a FreeBSD ports 
implementation of either gmime26 or Pan is  beyond my level of understanding, 
but at least it works now.
