I can confirm this behavior.  It often seems to happen if you receive
an answer to within a thread where the old messages were already
intentionally marked as read _and_ when there is an unrelated but more
recent message ticked.

Yes, that's the problem.  Whenever I try to trigger the bug manually,
it does not happen; but then, after some weeks, I enter my default nnml
group with 'C-u RET' and article I've never read are marked as read.
