Agreed that we'd want to re-index itself, but the problem is, I want  
to be able to *read* the last message before the re-indexing takes  
place, not when there are no more new messages.  Let me try to try to  
restate the problem:

I have messages a,b,c in the virtual inbox.
I read, then delete message a, but in the mean time, message d arrives.
I read message b and delete it.
The virtual inbox recalculates itself and I am brought to message d,  
instead of c.  (IMP 4 would have gone to message c, then recalculated  
the index then regenerated the inbox).
I delete message d, then message c is displayed.

I can consistently reproduce this when deleting the second to last  
message in the virtual and I get new messages before getting to the  
last message.
