It sounds like this may be triggered by offlineimap updating while you 
are in the middle of composing the message.

NeoMutt checks for new mail in the pager too, but it looks like in 1.7.2 
they botched the redraw-data updates, setting "max" before the index 
data structures were updated.

It looks like this is fixed in the latest version link posted by Jörg. 
However, I think it would be tricky to get Debian/Ubuntu to patch this 
for a non-security issue.  Your best bet would be to update.  Another 
workaround might be turning off $pager_index_lines.
