It's the buffy-list function in mutt itself, not a separate biff/buffy app that is doing the notifying, and it was mutt that was misreading the information (or using the wrong information given my settings) that the IMAP server gave it. The IMAP server was reporting the right amount of unread mails, but mutt wasn't using that value unless it detected new mails arriving since the last time it checked. Thankfully, since the patch to mutt posted by Vladimir (which appears to work correctly even with mark_old set, unlike my patch which only worked in my situation), I haven't had any issues with the buffy list, and have been able to get rid of the ghastly sidebar patch too, which was what I was using to see folders with new mail previously.
