My *Messages* buffer contains many sequences like this:
nnml: Reading incoming mail from file...
Wrote /home/karl/Mail/list/ding/24422
Wrote /home/karl/Mail/personal/jprc/total-recall/738
nnml: Reading incoming mail (1 new)...done
1? Self-evidently, there were 2.
The number of new items in parentheses is always either 0 or 1.

This confused me for a while too. I haven't delved into the code, but I
believe there are a couple different /count/ variables. At least in the
gnus-pop implementation.
* One variable keeps track of how many mail files have been read
* Another keeps track of how many messages are retrieved from that
file, so you can have a message like "Retrieving message 1 of 5
from pop" (or whatever).
That final message indicates that Gnus read incoming mail from One mail
file. Presumably, if you have 5 mail sources, this would keep track of
that number as well.
Lars, is this true? Is Lars able to breath?

There are actually no global variables in this part of pop3.el. The
'retrieving' messages use variables enclosed within a let in pop3-movemail:
`message-count' is let-bound to the result of pop3-stat, and `n' is a
similarly bound counter inside a while loop. Once pop3-movemail finishes,
those variables are unbound.

Yup. Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.86.
