Well, it was a couple of hours and not a single message that was not “new” had come in. But, as I suspected, IMAP is lying to me about the date stamps and using the received time instead of the Date: header which, really, I should have known. Thanks though, I should have thought to check the queue-id (and the Date: headers). -- It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought...should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words.
