simply take the message-id of the parent message and use it as a
thread id, circumventing any mentioned problems above. This is even
moderate safe, because the message-id is never moderated.
This comes at the cost of losing the feature to signal that a message
should not be used for a thread.
While I don't have any preference for one or the other solution, the
latter could be signalled explicitely. Might need a new XEP, though.

window (UI example: user clicks a "start a new thread button", and start a
blank window with it message, this message has a new thread ID, that will be
used by people replying to it).
In my experience, this is not how humans work.
People will just reply, and not care about any change of subject.
That's what is happening with email all of the time :-(
