Evidently vB4 had a setting to turn off the "Re: Thread title" that appears at the top of every single post:
Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title
This setting is not present in vB5.
After making a fresh reply in my shiny new forum (updated from 4.2.5, in a dev environment) I see that the thread titles are no longer included in new posts. So all those millions of imported posts have "Re: [Thread Title]" now in the main body of the message (confirmed by editing an old post).
Can I delete or exclude these from the updated forum if I disable it in vB4 before backing up the database? I hope they won't be saved and imported as part of the post contents anyway.
