I've been able to reproduce this, bug it doesn't happen entirely consistently.  
What actually occurs is, the 'n'ext message is shown in the thread pane with a 
'current' rectangle, but is not selected.  It gets displayed in the preview 
window, but it is not marked as read.

It seems that symptom doesn't occur if the initial folder is not sorted by 
Group, and does not occur if the jumped-to folder is not an RSS folder -- but I 
can't get it to occur reliably even with those constraints.

This is hardly grounds for calling "keyboard navigation broken."  You can still 
type keys to navigate within the folder, and the subsequent messages will be 
selected as expected.
