If this behavior is intended, it is rather disappointing.

If i understood correctly, one of the design ideas of LiquidThreads was to keep
the good things in MediaWiki's talk pages. Currently, if my user talk page on
MediaWiki changes, i get the orange banner saying that i have new messages.
Then it is enough to open my user talk page to make the notification go away -
one click only. This is not perfect, because if i received several messages, i
may miss them. But if i received only one message, which is a very frequent
scenario, having to click once more is quite annoying.

A good middle ground is to have it behave like Google Reader - if the unread
message is scrolled into the viewable part of the browser, it should become
read.

I should also mention that for many years all email clients marked the email as
read immediately after the user viewed it or a few seconds later.

I understand that it may take time to implement it, but you should at least
leave it as an enhancement.
