Well, more observations...  Just had a case that, based on the above 
rules, should have failed, but didn't (first unread was reply to top 
level that was next to the bottom, header pan was properly updated).

Also had a case where first unread was reply to a top level post that 
should have ended up in the upper half of the header pane, but things 
didn't get updated properly...

Oh well...
