I had a situation where a message arrived in INBOX.  I could see it in
the filesystem dovecot reads, and in other clients.  It was as if it did
not exist in gnus.

M-g on the group in *Group* buffer seems to have resolved that.
It is interesting that moving out and back resolved what I think is the
same situation in the past.

Just making up stuff without basis:  It's like a missing wakeup in a
synchronization protocol.

Agreed, but I can see the point of not blowing caches just because of startup.
