Yes.   At least when I load my personal "Rmail" configuration.   So I've
bisected my  variable definitions  and found the culprit  to be variable
"rmail-output-reset-deleted-flag".   If it also has a non-nil value (to-
gether with variable "rmail-delete-after-output") and the summary buffer
is selected,  rather than the current  the following mail  (if existing)
will reliably be marked deleted.

My reading of the "rmail-output-reset-deleted-flag" docstring was a mail
marked as deleted will be stored in a target mail folder without "delet-
ed" flag and of the docstring of "rmail-delete-after-output" that a mail
is either moved or copied  to the target folder.   But somehow these two
concepts seem to subtly interfere.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
