Thanks for your report.
In this case that's actually an intentional feature, ">>" is supposed
to clear the screen and only print messages that coming following it
(so that you can say "ok, I've read everything, I want my screen blank
until something new comes in").
We choose to implement that as a one-past-the-last-message, though
that could conceivably change in the future.
Does this behavior bug you? Perhaps we could add a variable to turn
it off.
