I think the guest without the message count could be looking at an old page in the cache if the browser [especially iexplore.exe] is set to 'never' check for new pages at the server.
Guest should make a point of clicking refresh once signed in and looking at the advanced page.
I have the same type of experience all the time as a consequence of having deliberately chosen the 'never' policy. I often will update a message count and then be shown my address list with the old count apparently unchanged; refreshing is then required. Sometimes refresh alone is not enough. In the latter instance, I:
[1]
View a completely unrelated page (about:blank is a good choice];
[2]
Empty the cache, including off-line content;
[3]
Clear the history;
[4]
In especially stubborn cases, close and reopen the browser.
