Yes, but (acting like a pure user) that's only the column's content to
me. The column doesn't expand width when the subject is long, so why
should it expand when there's a plus?

That's simple: stop the grid from resizing the column on expansion.
Or, internally *reduce* width after expansion of the plus. Did you
ever submit that as a bug? It's a bug to me... after all, you can even
configure the exact width of columns by pixels (whatever that should
be good for), just to have them scroll out of view when reading
threaded mail.
