Welcome to the club.
Mozilla is doing its job fine, it's a problem with cyrus: while one 
process marks messages as read, other ones still see them as unread (I 
did trace the communication between mozilla and cyrus when this happened).
Using skiplist as the backend for the seen db (instead of the default 
flat file) seems to alleviate (if not totally solve) the problem.
