So, my post earlier was premature - the organization of the threaded messages does not appear to rely on the year in Windows Mobile Messaging - but it does in the 3rd party Messaging Viewer.

This is INDEED a Microsoft issue.
Didn't you just prove that it's an HTC error because it's their viewer that is having the problem?

The microsoft viewer is using whatever settings you have set in regional settings to display the date/time, as does HTC.

Interestingly enough mine only started showing 2016 after 2:00am EST - prior to that I got messages in fine with the correct 10/01/01 date. After 2am they started displaying with 16/01/01!

Also my GF's S720 may also have the problem - incoming messages are displaying (1/1) instead of their usual time. She's running WM6.1 stock Telus ROM.
