Ok, in that script nothing happens to hdr after loading from the MSGbase. But
in nntpservice.js, before being passed to function getReferenceTo, it is
processed by function parse_news_header (in newsutil.js). It seems
hdr.reply_id is then an array of string (typeof "object"). I think it happens
here:

 hdr.reply_id = data.match(/<[^\<]*>$/);
