Er, first of all:

"when new email arrives" != "moved from new/ to cur/"

This is "moved from new/ to cur/", for that you need a IMAP/POP-connection

So, anything is correct.

OK, here you seem to access the message outside any IMAP/POP-connection on 
filesystem-level and you want the uid bumped up, "when new email arrives", 
meaning when the LDA drops the message in the Maildir. How do you deliver 
the messages with the LDA of your MTA or Dovecot? I guess, you do not use 
Dovecot LDA or LMTP?
