When entering a nnmh group, all the already read articles are shown.
This does not seem to happen with the nnimap and nntp backends that I
also use.

You don't say what version of Emacs you're using, but I'm unable to
reproduce this in the current Emacs 28.

Oh... :-(
This is on the master branch. I had thought it was simply a lexical
binding issue, since it was triggered with the gnus lexical binding
commit, and my other issues with it were fixed in updates (like the
gnus-article-browse-html-parts fix).
However, now using an "emacs -q" and doing a simple setq gnus-select-method,
things work OK. I will have to do some bisecting of my own setup.
Thanks for your feedback.

It turns out that the problem is that I do:
(setq nnmh-be-safe t)
I did this because I use NMH from the command line to move and delete
messages, and repack folders, and I thought it would be needed so gnus
would not get confused. Was I wrong?
After the update, however, with nnmh-be-safe set, gnus just decides that
all the messages in the folder are unread.

No, that sounds like the correct thing to do.

I tried
(setq nnmh-be-safe t)
and then started Gnus, selected an nnmh group, read a couple of
messages, `g', entered the group again, and everything seems to work as
it's supposed to.
What do you do to reproduce the problem?

Actually the same thing, but in the context of the rest of my Gnus/Emacs
setup.
It looks like I am going to need to look at re-building my Gnus
configuration from scratch. This will take a while. My setup has
evolved almost as long as Gnus has existed.
