How did you collect your mail? "g", "1 g" or "2 g"?
I've found that this problem can be reproduced by having mail boxes on
different levels but only collecting mail at one level.
The "%" mark gets put into the Group buffer and the message info is
written to the .overview file, but the message is invisible until mail
on that level is incorporated.
