So when you reach capacity the oldest messages drop out of your inbox automatically and are replaced by new ones. Then when you delete some messages the old ones that previously dropped out suddenly reappear, and can sometimes display as "new" messages. It happened to me a while ago and I looked into it. I also sometimes get these issues while accessing Twitter on different computers/browsers (messages I've recently read appearing as new). The theory that it has anything to do with NSLs strikes me as far-fetched to say the least, in the same vein as the bizarre theory circulated recently about how Google asking you to approve terms of usage on your account is actually a secret discreet way of letting you know you're subject to an NSL.
