It's neigther a problem of slrn nor the news server. These phantom messages are canceled or superseded messages. The news server increments the article number for each message. Slrn later tries to fetch the new message, but the server doesn't deliver the deleted messages. Slrn can't see which messages aren't available until it tries to fetch them.
