I recall seeing similar reports from time to time, and I'm not sure it
has ever been fully tracked down.  FWIW, I use CVS Gnus on CVS Emacs,
Cyrus IMAPD 2.1.15, agent enabled (and typically always online), many
client instances (although only one of them is Gnus), and I use tick
marks extensively and have never seen this.

Finding a recipe, and *imap-log* traces, on reproducing this would
help.
