Over the weekend, it struck me that a patch to make 'seen' global could be as simple as commenting out the calls to the code that treats '\Seen' as a special-case global variable, and adding 'Seen' to the list of global flags. Somewhere. Unfortunately, when I had a look at the source code, I could find libraries dealing with Seen, but no list of global flags or obvious hook for the 'seen' per-user code.
Is it that simple?
