I think the mails are get marked as "unread" when the folder is compacted.
Unfortunately only "compat all folders" is exported in KMail's DCOP interface, 
so depending how long this usually takes, you could have a script/cron job 
call this method regularily.

$ dcop kmail KMailIface compactAllFolders
