Looks like the latter... (git-)pan shows sent messages in the sent pseudo-
group, but doesn't show them as "cached" and won't let you actually read 
them until a pan restart.

So the feature's there and working, but there are still minor bugs in it 
to work out.  (One that was recently fixed was that the next-group and 
next-unread-group functions would go to the local pseudo-groups and get 
"stuck" there.  One would have to actually click on a different group to 
get out of the hole, as next-group/next-unread-group wouldn't move out of 
the pseudo-groups once it was there.  But that was fixed by excluding 
them from the list of groups that the next-(unread-)group functions could 
see and navigate to.  So the bugs in the new features are being fixed... 
it's just taking a bit of time.)
