Mystery solved! The very first line is missing a space between ‘Nov’
and ‘1’ (should be two spaces). After adding it back, mail can now
parse the file.
(Also, Nov 1 is Thu, not Sun, but that wouldn’t have prevented mail from
parsing the file).
I will send a patch to tech@ adding that space back -
And regardless, /usr/src/usr.bin/mail/main.c:95 unsets MAIL environment
variable when an '-u' flag is present, and the problem I'm reporting persists
even when I run
mail -u root
as root.

Yes, and I didn't change any defaults:
# set | grep MAIL
MAIL=/var/mail/root

Hello,
I must be missing something obvious, but since installing 6.4-current (on a few
versions in a row), I can't get mail to read /var/mail/root.
After logging in, I see:

OpenBSD 6.4-current (GENERIC.MP) #425: Sun Nov 4
[... skipped ...]
You have mail.
