This sometimes happens when the $MAIL environment variable gets set wrong. The directory specified in that variable will be watched for new mail; sometimes (I think this is mainly a problem with "su", but I'm not sure) it gets set to "/root" and gets confused.
I have the exact same issue here. Does anybody know where the $MAIL variable gets set, or how to prevent it from being set at all?
