After much experimenting, I decided there was something wrong with my databases, especially since dropping back to v2.3.3 didn't fix it. So I wiped everything out (fortunately it's a test system), recreated the mailboxes and put messages in them, repeated the experiment with v2.3.3, and everything was OK. Then I upgraded to v2.3.7 and it still behaved correctly. So there is no problem with seen state and v2.3.7.
