I'd like to fix this if possible. I'm wondering if it's due to a mistake in one of the Mail Actions I've set up. I've rebuilt/compacted my mail
database and index, and it still occurs.  It's a problem with a simple
work-around, but I'd like to save myself the effort of monitoring Temp
Incoming and quitting and restarting every time I see a message ignored.

This is a well known issue with OS X.

Quit and relaunch Emailer until your Temp Incoming folder is empty. THen toss the Temp Incoming folder into the trash. Close ALL open windows, then launch Emailer. All will be better.

DO NOT open the new Temp Incoming folder to verify that it has been fixed or you may cause the problem to come back.

The problem is caused by an invisible .DS_Store file the Finder puts into the Temp Incoming folder. It creates this file any time it thinks it needs to store info about the folder (view, sorting, stuff like that). So te act of opening the Temp Incoming folder can cause the Finder to create that .DS_Store file again.
