Ok, if I am at the end of a folder (ie, the current message is the
last numbered message in the folder), I hit 'd' for delete.  The
cursor advances...and circles arount to message number 1.

vm-circular-folders is set to 'hello (or "0", the default).

This is the relevant documentation:

   The variable `vm-circular-folders' determines whether VM folders will be
   considered circular by various commands.  "Circular" means VM will wrap
   from the end of the folder to the start and vice versa when moving the
   message pointer, deleting, undeleting or saving messages before or after
   the current message.
   
   A value of `t' causes all VM commands to consider folders circular.  A
   value of `nil' causes all of VM commands to signal an error if the start
   or end of the folder would have to be passed to complete the command.
   For movement commands, this occurs after the message pointer has been
   moved as far it can go.  For other commands the error occurs before any
   part of the command has been executed, i.e. no deletions, saves, etc.
   will be done unless they can be done in their entirety.  A value other
