I'm quite sure at this point that the Gcc settings are the cause. So
excited to have traced this down!

I should have made this connection before, because I'd noticed that
sometimes, my Gcc'd messages were not getting marked as read, and I
thought that was weird. 

Now to fix it :). Any background information about how Gcc works would
be helpful.
