According to the IMAP telemetry the order of the flags is the same.
I've rsync'd the code from both servers onto another server alternately
in an attempt to find the difference, but code from each doesn't change
the behaviour no matter which server the code comes from.

Can you shed any light on the cached message object?  I'll have to start
looking there.

Thanks for any replies.
