Buffer position bug with VM 5.32 and Emacs 18.58

I recently switched to Emacs 18.58 (from 18.55) and VM 5.32 (from 5.31).
Now I often get wrong buffer positions with vm. I don't know whether this
is vm's fault or emacs'. The symptoms are:
1. Sometimes (but not very often, when I issue the vm command the first
time (i.e. when my INBOX is not yet loaded) I get the summary buffer
displayed but thye cursor is not on the first new message, but at some
random other message. If I remember correctly, only the summary buffer is
displayed then.
2. When I issue the vm command after my INBOX is loaded but new mail is
present in my Unix mailbox, and I issue the 'g' command in vm, very often
the new message is not displayed at its top but a couple of lines down.
This looks to me like a bug in emacs buffer management (I remember having
found some problems with emacs buffer pointers something like a year ago)
but on the other hand I only get this kind of problems with vm. I found a
bug in pop-to-buffer a few weeks ago, but this function is not used in vm5.
Is there a list of known bugs in Emacs 18.58??
This is the list of my vm variables:
(setq vm-folder-directory "~/MAIL/")
(setq vm-primary-inbox "~/MAIL/INBOX")
(setq vm-crash-box "~/MAIL/INBOX.CRASH")
(setq vm-startup-with-summary t)
(setq vm-reply-subject-prefix "Re: ")
(setq vm-flush-interval nil)
(setq vm-keep-sent-messages t)
(setq vm-preview-lines nil)
(setq vm-circular-folders nil)
(setq vm-move-after-deleting t)
(setq vm-delete-after-saving t)
(setq vm-mode-hooks
'(lambda ()
(make-local-variable 'version-control)
(setq version-control 'never)
(setq buffer-auto-save-file-name nil)))
(setq vm-rfc934-forwarding nil)
(setq vm-delete-empty-folders nil)
(setq vm-follow-summary-cursor t)
(setq vm-highlighted-header-regexp nil)
(setq vm-visible-headers
'("From:" "Sender:" "To:" "Apparently-To:" "Cc:" "Subject:" "Date:" "Warning:"))
(setq vm-confirm-quit 1)
(setq vm-reply-ignored-addresses
(list (concat "\\(^\\|[ \t)<]\\)" (regexp-quote
(or (getenv "USER") (getenv "LOGNAME")
(user-login-name)))
"\\(@[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*cs.ruu.nl\\)?\\([ \t>(]\\|$\\)")))

these are vm bugs, i think. i think that there is no fix to #1, but that jwz has a fix to #2.
