I would hazzard (keyword) a guess that procmail has not yet delivered
the new mail and/or removed the lock.

Same as above. Also remember that mutt does not *immediately* update
the mailbox status on delivery. I see messages appear delivered in the
procmail log that mutt does not notice new mail yet. This sometimes is
as long (perception) as 20-30 seconds.

My reasoning above.
