Here's the result of `G E' on that group:
("nnimap+privat:getmail" 2
 ((1 . 45))
 ((reply 28)
  (tick 25
        (30 . 31))
  (active 1 . 46)
  (seen
   (25 . 28)
   (30 . 31)
   (46 . 47)))
 "nnimap:privat"
 ((imap-status . "48 1 47")
  (uidvalidity . "1279388661")))

I don't know what the numbers mean, but I see (1 . 45) at the top, and
then (active 1 . 46) and then (46 . 47) under (seen.

Could it be that there is a mismatch in what number of articles nnimap
believes it has?  Ie. either the (seen has two more than the (1 . 45) at the
start, or one more than the (active 1 . 46)...?
