"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.
