It occurs to me that, when set to "new only", GMail may equate the incoming 
message to a message that already exists in the Sent Mail folder thus 
causing the incoming message to be marked something other than "new"...

Could be an interesting investigation...

I suspect the Official Help Center Message translates to "we don't know 
what's going on so, instead of spending too much time on it, let's put 
something in the FAQ".
- Folks receiving the expected behavior would not look at the FAQ
- Folks not receiving the expected behavior would say "Oh..." and not submit 
a help request

After all, IIRC, GMail is still "by invitation only" and considered (by 
Google) to be a service still in Beta.
