>From *Group*, it changed from no unread to 332 unread. Entering the
group with plain RET it asked me how many to fetch, 364 by default, then
showed me 3 unread (plus some ticked's). Exiting the group, *Group*
shows 3 unread, and does so whenever I enter/exit the group now. (I can
get it back to 332 by doing M-g again, then on RET I get asked about 364
and am shown 3 unread.)

I just tried M-g on all my other (10 or so) nnimap groups, all on the
same dovecot server, all from the same fastmail account, no change. It's
only the one group.

I guess I can advise `g' to do `M-g' on the misbehaving group …
