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.)
