This turns out to be a combination of the nntp patch (properly
maintained externally) and the mtime patch (less properly maintained by
the mail/mutt port).

It seems as if FreeBSD's patch fuzzer isn't inserting
check_maildir_times() at the proper location.  I would be the one to
blame for this because I took the stance "if the patch applies (even
with fuzzing) we're good."  Clearly that was a bad idea.

Applying just nntp or mtime everything is alright.  However, when you
both port options an alternative mtime is applied that takes into
account nntp changes.

A new mtime-nntp patch should be generated with updated context.  Keep
an eye out for this update in ports HEAD.
