Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Fix Released

Bug description:
Since switching do vm 8.1.0 beta I've occasionally experienced failures when trying to forward a message.  Instead of getting a composition buffer with the message to be forwarded attached, I get a frame split into two windows.  I haven't figured out exactly what triggers it, but I attach a sample (stripped down) message that illustrates the problem.

To reproduce:
- Move away any .vm file
- Start "emacs -q"
- Do M-x vm-visit-folder
- Select the folder attached to this report
- Hit "z" to forward the message

Now I wind up with two windows in the new frame.  The upper is the composition buffer with the proper subject line, but no message attached.  The lower contains the header of the message to be forwarded.

I assume this is a problem in vm itself.  But just in case it matters, I experience this on a Fedora 12 system with

emacs-23.1-13.fc12.x86_64
emacs-vm-8.1.0-0.1.beta.fc12.x86_64
