Not that I can help, but what backend is this group using (I forget
the details of your previous reports)?
I saw the opposite problem with nnmaildir in a particular group. It
would consistently report 3 phantom new messages whenever I would get
new mail and no new mail showed up for that particular group. I
eventually ended up deleting everything in .nnmaildir/nov for that
group and the problem no longer happens. (disclaimer: the exact
details of this problem might be wrong -- all I remember for sure was
the group buffer was showing new mail when there wasn't any)
