   [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.)

I've seen this too, though in vm 4.41 and Epoch 3.2 (which is based on
emacs 18.55).  I'm almost positive it happens in plain emacs 18.57 as
well, though I couldn't swear to it.

I always just pressed "n" or "p" to get things back to normal.
