Yes, Oort also keep marks in a .mrk/.marks file in nnfolder/nnml groups. Some said M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases RET fixed the problem in the transition. But maybe you could try debugging this, if you can reproduce it by switching between versions, so that others don't have to do M-x nnml.. RET. For starters, in one group that triggers this, could you cut'n'paste the content of `G E' (both new and old version) and the contents of the .mrk/.marks file (new version)?
