In the group buffer or the summary buffer?  The group buffer contain a
estimate, and it's often wrong.

By entering the summary buffer gnus/nnimap will fetch all flags from
the server and you should see whatever the server says you should see.

You can also press M-g on the group in the group buffer to update the
estimate.

It could be a bug. Kill *imap-log*, *nnimap-debug*, enter a group from
the group buffer, save both buffers and mail them to me and I'll have
a look.
