It could be any number of things, but one of the common issues with offlineimap that I have is: When you add a new message to a group on the "client" side of an IMAP <=> IMAP sync pair, offlineimap will upload it to the server, delete it from the client, then add a new copy with an extra header. Flags are preserved, though, so the message will show an a "new" item, but already be read when Gnus looks at it. This would show in any folder where you added messages with IMAP on the client side. offlineimap with a mutable client side (eg: Maildir) doesn't show this problem because it doesn't need to delete and add a message to add the extra header.
