Oh, I hadn't noticed this before. Yes, "unseen" doesn't work nicely with
POP3.

For POP3 it doesn't really matter, because it's not visible to clients
in any way. You would get a bit better performance if you didn't include
the '+' because then it wouldn't rename the mails to cur/ (i.e. same
idea as pop3_no_flag_updates setting).

The '+' feature is more useful with IMAP though, because there it has
visible effects to clients. So in any case it wasn't a waste to
implement it.

BTW. If you set "+RealMails/" it moves mails from new/ to cur/ in INBOX,
but you also need to set "+RealMails/*" if you want that to happen for
non-INBOXes too.
