Thanks for the poke, Stefan. I have a vague recollection of having
seen this myself in the distant past.
However, this issue seems to have since been resolved, but I don't
recall how. Perhaps it was fixed in Gnus (which MH-E uses under the
hood) as I couldn't find any tickets matching this description in the
MH-E ticketing system. I could not reproduce it (with the very clear
recipe, thanks!) with the MH-E distributed with Emacs 27.1 with emacs
-Q.
I've cc'd Mike in case he has any more details to add, but otherwise,
I'm closing this as unreproducible.
