That is totally outside of the in-reply-to/references trail of your
ping message, and what I saw in the message you were quoting in your
'ping' was

>>  		$message .=  $_;
>> -		if (/^([a-z-]*-by|Cc): (.*)/i) {
>> +		if (!$in_patch && /^([a-z-]*-by|Cc): (.*)/i) {

which is a lot looser than the suggested "the beginning must be
alpha" pattern.
