Hmm... checked the upstream gnome bugzilla, and while my bug-search 
skills aren't always the greatest, there's a limited number of bugs for 
the 2.6 series and I couldn't find a match at all.

But I did find a changelog entry that's a good candidate:


2013-04-05  Jeffrey Stedfast  <address@hidden>

        * gmime/gmime-utils.c (header_fold_tokens): New internal function
        that replaces the older header_fold() function. This new one uses
        the rfc2047 tokenizer so that we share the same rfc2047 workaround
        logic in the tokenizer.

        Fixes bug #697407

The mentioned bug is:

header folding logic doesn't use the same rfc2047 workarounds as the 
decoder

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697407

That log entry was post-2.6.15 but should have been in 2.6.16, released 
the end of June.

Meanwhile, threading for that post was off too. =:^(  (I'm using pan to 
read/reply via gmane.)

But =:^) also, as it looks like we have a reproducer right in this thread 
now. =:^)
