I have a recollection of hitting `cmd+shift+o` and being shown a view that showed all the messages in a thread across folders (e.g., those in inbox, sent, and trash). Presently, it only shows me the messages in the current folder, which isn't that useful. Did something change? Even if not, is there a way to see all the related messages of a thread across folders?

Perhaps rebuild your message index/database. Open in Conversation is working for me.
