Wow.  So I'm not hallucinating (at least not this time :)

Been seeing this, haven't had a chance to track it down. Looking at exmh's
.xmhcache files, I have 145,141 total messages listed in .xmhcache entries, and
the bug is affecting 3,266 of them. So there's an anectodal value for the 
frequency.

A few random samplings from my NANOG folder:

A quick test shows it's stable - several different scan patterns consistently
failed the same messages in my NANOG folder (scan last:100, scan 45498 45533,
etc etc),

Interestingly enough, Ken's 11:35 message did *not* trip over the bug, so
there's some state that's different between your machine and mine.  My first
guess is number/length of Received: headers?
