I found out how to fix this issue.

The behavior is controlled by a new configuration setting,
$mail_check_recent which defaults to _set_.

>From the manual, section 3.119:

> When set, Mutt will only notify you about new mail that has been
> received since the last time you opened the mailbox. When unset,
> Mutt will notify you if any new mail exists in the mailbox,
> regardless of whether you have visited it recently.
> 
> When $mark_old is set, Mutt does not consider the mailbox to contain
> new mail if only old messages exist.

Adding `unset mail_check_recent` to the configuration does indeed
restore the old behavior as described in the initial submission.
