This would be the first report I've heard of this.  What mailbox format 
is procmail delivering to?  How are you observing the "folders with new 
mail" count?

Buffy notification hasn't been modified too much since 1.7.x.  iNotify 
support and nanosecond timestamp comparison was added for version 
1.11.0, but that shouldn't affect you yet.

The new mail information is stored in memory, in the list generated by 
the 'mailboxes' command.

If possible it would helpful to test against a vanilla 1.10.1 (or newer) 
tarball, to discount external patch bugs.
