I find that this issue happens when the currently viewed folder is the incoming mail folder.  Essentially what is happening there, is that the e-mail is brought into the folder and whichever one ends up automatically being selected for display is marked as read, because technically, it was displayed.  But, it was not actively selected or viewed.

So whenever I have a filter that moves anything out of that folder, I have it marked as unread after it is moved.

And, if you are performing filter operations in an incoming mail folder that can commonly be expected to display, you can expect messages to be marked as read.

So, it may be best for KMail to not mark incoming messages as being read just because they are displayed.  It should only mark them as being read when the user actively selects a message for display.
