After running stat on a mailbox in a bunch of different situations, it looks like the problem is not that mutt is not seeing the atime correctly, but rather it's that it's setting the atime of edited mailboxes in weird ways. In particular, it frequently sets the atime of the mailbox to one second before either the ctime or the mtime (whichever of the two it left unmodified). Or something like that; what it does to the timestamps in different situations seems to vary based on factors I haven't figured out yet.
