I see this all the time when reading RSS with the WebKit that's built-in to Mac
OS X 10.5.5.  It usually happens as a result of reading feeds while the counts
are being updated.  If you quit and restart, however, the counts are correct. 
In other words, the articles are properly marked as read, but something messes
up the count.

Problems like this are usually the result of two different threads accessing a
variable without sufficient mutex locking.

I have no clue whether this would be a WebKit bug (in which case, the
developers here might be able to fix it) or a Safari bug (in which case, only
Apple will be able to provide a fix.)
