Thanks!  It looks like an extra STORE command is being done, though.
Below is an example where I didn't change the marks on an article before
moving it (from "test" to the same group), and yet the first line shows
a bunch of flags being removed.  And I don't know why \Seen would be
removed, since the article was marked as read.  Then in command 308, the
\Seen flag is restored, which seems inefficient.

And are commands 309 and 310 needed?
