i think the problem is that when the server asynchronously reports to
the client that there's new mail apple mail gets confused.  then noop
doesn't report new mail.  also, it seems that this is also the cause
of apple mail having to re-download the entire mailbox every time
it checks for new mail.

i set:

mailbox_check_interval = 0
mailbox_idle_check_interval = 0

which did the trick (i already had all the client workarounds enabled).
