[vm 5.31, emacs 18.57]

The selected buffer is "inbox".  I execute vm-followup; I ^X^B back to the
inbox buffer.  Display of the inbox buffer begins at some random place in the
buffer, and is un-narrowed; in my case, the window-start is pointing somewhere
in the middle of a line about halfway through the first message in inbox (it
looks like a value of point is being applied to inbox that should be applied
to the reply buffer.)

Here's the weird part: if you switch windows, or go to the echo area (with
ESC ESC, for example) the display fixes itself, and the inbox buffer is
narrowed to the correct message.

Also, in my case if I wait for about thirty seconds, it fixes itself; I
presume this is because I am using reportmail.el, which causes set-buffer
to be called from a process filter (I'm guessing that calling set-buffer or
something like it is what makes the display un-freak itself).
