This is causing any SMS thread I've sent last on to appear below all of the threads where the last correspondence was a received message. Sense 2.1's messaging also appears to be a little wonky as a result of this.
Anybody have a good idea for a solution?

This sounds like the dreaded Y2K10 bug. I did some digging and found this:
Fix/Workaround for 2016 Issue
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1454414
I manually applied the same fix because the timestamps weren't showing up, but I didn't know it was due to this issue. It solved my problems for now.
Unfortunately, this is only a workaround and not a fix as the problem is coded in RILPHONE.dll. The original behavior, I believe, is that received texts always displayed the time they were sent. So, if your phone is off, when you turned it on it would show the time the text was sent. This workaround makes it so the texts are labeled as the time the texts are received.
Thanks to
ziggy471 for working on the workaround and finding the problem in the code. Hopefully HTC or Microsoft comes out with an update to fix the DLL.
