I got tired of waiting, so I threw together a quickie plugin that does this.

1. add a plugin, the hook you want is "showthread_start"
2. product is vbulletin (or you can create a product just for nntp hacks)
3. PHP Code:

   global $vbulletin;
$thread = verify_id('thread', $threadid, 1, 1);
if ($thread) {    
    $sql = "SELECT newsgroupid FROM " . 
       TABLE_PREFIX . 
       "nntp_groups WHERE forum = " .
       $thread['forumid'];
    if($vbulletin->db->query_first($sql)) {
        unset($threadedmode);
        $vbulletin->userinfo['threadedmode'] = 2; // 1 - threaded, 2 - hybrid
    }
} 


This makes it so that usenet threads are forced into beng threaded or hybrid mode (you pick which)
