I've experienced the same thing several times, but I cannot reproduce
it.  Perhaps it happens if you C-k the summary buffer, rather than
exiting it with 'q'?

When it happens, I usually remove the entire agent directory for that
particular nnimap group.  E.g. rm -rf ~/News/agent/nnimap/foo/bar.  It
is safe to do so (although, of course, you have then lost the local
cache of that group).
