The tooltip, which comes from http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/messenger.properties#354, is "{name of the account with a new message} has 1 new message" so the only way I can see to get the message you report is to have your account named "You". I suspect that using "You" as an account name is rare enough that it's not worth having a special localized string that we use after checking whether or not the account name is a localized version of "you" which calls for different grammar in that particular language.
