I believe this is the expected behavior.  A mailbox will re-index  
itself when it hits the last message of the mailbox.

Now that I am thinking about this ... I'm not sure this is correct  
behavior.  We have changed search mailbox behavior in dynamic view to  
NEVER update the mailbox until the user explicitly refreshes the view.  
  This allows the user to peruse the mailbox at their leisure, and  
then perform batch operations at the mailbox level when done, without  
worrying that messages will "disappear" because they are no longer  
marked as unseen.

We should have consistent behavior between traditional view and  
dynamic view.  And that behavior should be like the dynamic view  
rather than the traditional view.  In which case, the activity  
described here is incorrect.
