Hm.  Ah.  Hm.  Why could it be?

Yes.  Please have a look at the newsgroup data (type `G E' (not `G
e')).  Also have a look at the active file, and at the overview file
(if there is one).

I'm guessing that Gnus thinks articles up to N are read, but the new
articles get numbers less than N.

This can happen, for example, if you use nnmh and allow it to delete
the last message in a group.
