I think this might be a configuration issue and not a nnimap problem,
as Francisco Solsona reported similar problems with nnml. I'm not
able to reproduce it with either backend.
However, dormant articles are marked as ticked by nnimap to accomodate
for other IMAP clients. (There isn't a standard "dormant" flag in the
IMAP protocol.) This meant that all dormant articles automatically
got a ticked flag. This is now fixed in CVS, dormant articles are
marked as ticked for other clients, but nnimap hide the tick mark for
Gnus on dormant articles. (This make it impossible to mark an article
as both dormant and ticked, but this is treated as a ticked article
anyway so I don't think it matter.)
