That was me ;-) and I used to have the problem of "ghost mail," too.
But when I saw this thread I checked again, and it seems I don't have
it anymore.  Thinking about it, it makes a little sense (but not a
whole lot): without the patch, when nnimap moved an email, it created
a copy in the destination folder (like it was supposed to), but didn't
switch back to the source folder before setting the `Deleted' flag,
which had the effect that the mail in the source folder never got
expired.  My guess is that this threw off the agent; at least it's
easy to imagine how this would cause cache inconsistencies of some
sort.

Anyway, it seems I don't have the problem anymore and I'd suggest to
try and see if my patch [1] keeps it from re-occurring.  Any
non-existent mail you have now, you have to get rid off by hand,
though.
