Not a for-sure recipe :/ Try sending yourself a few dozen messages with
the folder open for an hour or so. During that time, delete a few
messages, move a few messages to another group, read a few messages.
Then / N. That's closer to the conditions under which I see it.

The next thing I'd try is do the same thing, but before doing / N, do a
g in *Group* (with the group still open). I know that sometimes I do
that.

Finally, I'd try the same thing as the first recipe, but instead of
doing / N, just quit the group, re-enter it, quit it again, fetch new
mail, and enter it again.
