Hi Omen,
Short answer: it's already been fixed.
As you found, the old Sidebar wasn't counting "new" the same way as Mutt.
If you have the time, please test the latest NeoMutt release:
https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt
If that doesn't help, please raise an issue and I'll fix it:

Debian is still using quite an old version of the Sidebar.
I'm working with them to get the latest Sidebar into mutt-patched.

That code wasn't at fault, it was the counting which happened elsewhere.
But, thanks for looking. It helped me zero-in on the problem.
