Oops, maybe I've gone completely mad. Probably.
I'll think again after lunch. I am, however, fairly sure that the
problem is caused by your machine managing to receive two of the test
messages within the same second. They end up with message ids that have
the same first component.
The contents of test-mail that you sent to me look perfectly correct, so
the problem must be in the way Exim orders the file names in order to do
the comparison. It seems to be comparing the wrong files.
