Yes, that's a bug. Messages in your mail_folder/new probably don't have
any 'info' (flags) in their filename, which is correct with respect to
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html. My patch incorrectly ignores the
files without 'info'. I didn't catch this error because is seems that
offlineimap puts 'info' part even to messages in new/.

I think that the correct fix for this is to change how notmuch new
works: Whenever a message in new/ is found, it will be moved to cur/ and
in there is no info part it will be appended and the message will be
tagged accordingly.

I'll try to implement it and send a new patch.
