Looks like the problem here was that CONTACT is a substring of
CONTACTED—whatever function decides if a todo keyword is pending or
completed apparently just reads the string until it finds the first
match (?). I changed it to SENT and everything worked fine. Dunno if
that's worth considering a bug, but it's certainly surprising behavior.
