I meant if it then corrects the number of unread messages to "0". This
could happen if you have 'gaps' in the article numbers, which can often
be resolved by doing a M-g on that group. But that doesn't seem to be
the case here.

No, better don't do this. It should work with nnml as primary back end,
otherwise it's a bug. I don't use nnml, so I'm not sure why it doesn't
work for you. Maybe nnml and nnimap behave differently in this regard,
which would be unfortunate. I will have to create a test setup for this.
