I'm pretty sure this is not a blocker, back button by design takes you to the previous screen. If your thread was the previous screen then it would take you to the thread. By design it would work the same on any mobile screen.

I'll ask around and confirm if people want the behavior to be different.

Verified with @JmillsExpensify, this is by design. The back button goes to the previous screen in the stack. Closing since this is a non-issue.
