We (MH-E developers) have talked about dropping the SourceForge bug
tracker and just using the Emacs debbugs, but I don't think we ever
reached a definite decision.  In the meantime, either should work, since
at least one of us (me) is subscribed to Emacs bugs.

Yes, I can reproduce this.  

Chris, I'm not sure what you're expecting instead.  I'm guessing you'd
like to have the original message list in the folder buffer (no need to
type "/ w"), with the error text displayed like a normal error, rather
than in the folder buffer.  Do I understand correctly?

thanks,
mike
