The problem is the negative UID, I think dummy lines are assigned
negative article numbers.  However, are backends really expected to
handle negative article numbers?  It appears as if there is a bug in
Gnus in that it doesn't remove the negative article number before
invoking the backend.  If not, nnimap should probably just discard
negative article numbers.
