This definitely happens to many of us from time to time. Unfortunately I
can't really reproduce the problem, as by the time it appears it's too
late to figure out where it came from, though I assume it has to do with
Gnus calculating unread messages from a high-low range, and not being
aware of "filled in" read messages within that range.
In the meantime, is "M-g" on the problematic group(s) enough to
permanently fix the problem? Not a great solution, though better than
doctoring your .newsrc.eld file...
