This is indeed the case (with both nail and s-nail):

Posix-requires behaviour is (indepent of the specific command):
Each command that takes an optional list of messages (msglist)
or an optional single message (message) on which to operate
shall leave the current message set to the highest-numbered
message of the messages specified [...]
nail and s-nail will put the ">" mark at msg "current" prior to the
"from" listing. (And no mark at all if that one isn't part of the
requested set.)
nail and s-nail will then update "current" to the last message printed
(in threaded mode not necessarily the "highest-numbered").
I *do* appreciate the digression from posix "highest-numbered" in the
threaded case. I'd only prefer the ">" mark to be at the, d'uh,
"more current" current message.
