The key word here is "cross"; bear in mind that the quota notification
is delivered to the normal message recipient.

"If the resulting value is greater than zero, and delivery of the
message causes the size of the file or total space in the directory tree
to cross the given threshold"

For the warning message to be sent, the delivery of *this* email must
cause the total usage to cross over the warn threshold. Otherwise, the
receipt of the warning message would cause another warning message to be
sent.

The first mail which caused the threshold to be exceeded will have added
generated a warning mail. In this case:

> message size = 412


you were already over the threshold.
