That is surely a bug.

When I try

        scan +

it lists two messages, and complains about both of them.  That's
because I have two directories (i.e. folders) with all numeric
names.

I have been using MH (and then nmh) for around 16 years without ever
noticing this bug.  Perhaps I can go another 16 years without
noticing it again.
