I've noticed something else, that it seems to happen more often when I receive duplicate texts from same contact. As if the carrier (alltel) resends the text to me before an acknowledgment that I have received it.
I reply to the last text received and it doesn't clear it.

Other times it happens with receiving multiple sms from several contacts. I have to click on each individual sms from the threaded chat list to clear it up. Unread received msgs will be in bold in the respective conversation lists for each contact.
IDK
I'm thinking its a tweak/setting/cab I've been using and maybe con has used it in this cook as well.

It's hard to track down cause it happens only at random. I usually forget about it until it annoys me again. LOL.
