reconstruct - mismatched timestamps

I'm not really sure what happens with message timestamps. I think it read's the message's fstat.st_mtime and compares it to a date inside the message? Sometimes it reports that there is a mismatch and sometimes not.
Apparently no problem with this guy's mailbox:
[root at hawkmail1 tmp]# reconstruct -G -r user.bretzger
user.bretzger
user.bretzger.DELETED
user.bretzger.OUTBOX
But maybe there is:
[root at hawkmail1 tmp]# reconstruct -r user
user: Mailbox does not exist (null) (hmmm well ok, I guess this does not exist errmsg is legit)
user.bretzger timestamp mismatch 2768
user.bretzger timestamp mismatch 2769
user.bretzger timestamp mismatch 2771
user.bretzger timestamp mismatch 2836
user.bretzger
user.bretzger.DELETED
user.bretzger.OUTBOX
.

<control-c after a few more mailboxes are shown>
It seems like st_mtime is sometimes 1 second ahead of the date of the first Received: header. Possibly because lmtpunix was operating right on the cusp of a second-hand tick was writing out the message. Who knows.. boo.
Ok so heres the timestamp and contents of one mismatched message. I'm expecting reconstruct to either fix the st_mtime, or to report the mismatch no matter which way I run it.
[root at hawkmail1 bretzger]# ls --full-time 2836.
