Also, I wonder if you would mind trying a vanilla mutt 1.14.5 release.A quick test on my side wasn't able to duplicate this, so it would be nice to make sure it isn't a Gentoo patch causing the problem.
After taking a closer look, I do have one theory about this, but it would be hard to trigger reliably.
Do you have $mail_check_stats set?The sidebar code (merged back in 1.7.0) introduced a race condition for $mail_check_stats, because it resets the atime after scanning the mbox for message counts. That works fine with just one Mutt running, but not so well if there are more than one.
I think the only way around it is to lock the mailbox, but I'll ponder it a bit more. It would be nice to know if that's your problem though.
