It seems you are right. I noticed in the headers of the banned message:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130308 
Thunderbird/17.0.4

while my test from Windows:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130307 Thunderbird/17.0.4

did not have this problem.

Exactly as the bug report describes.

Today TB updated to 17.0.5 - I hope they fixed it in the new version.
