This bug affects my system, too. It still occurs in the most recent unstable (0.8.5-1.1). I spoke to the developers in #muine, and they tell me that this issue is fixed in CVS. (until then, Muine is nearly unusable: can we get a pre-release package in experimental? having to use XMMS is really unpleasant)
