I've been paying attention to this more closely, and hitting CTL-N for  
next unread really does behave unpredictably when the next unread is in  
a different mailbox.  Sometimes it does nothing, but only once, and  
then goes on if I hit CTL-N again.  Other than that, it does always go  
to the right next mailbox, but sometimes it goes to the last read  
message, sometimes to the first unread, and sometimes I'm not sure how  
it picked the message.  I have a mix of mbox and maildir, and I haven't  
noticed anything based on which type it is, but I haven't really paid  
much attention to that.

Clearly not a very high priority, but definitely a curiosity.
