Not sure I trust patchwork yet

I wrote the patchwork-to-imap-flag script I was wishing for earlier.
It works as follows:

 - find all messages marked "[PATCH" in my inbox
 - find all patches marked "new" or "under review" in patchwork
 - for each message in my inbox:
   - if it's in the patch set, flag it
   - if it's not, unflag it

Thus, if it has a flag in my inbox, I may not want to delete it just
yet, as I may need to reply to it or queue it.

But if it doesn't have a flag, I can delete it without tediously
cross-referencing it with the rest of my mailbox, crew, or patchwork,
safe in the knowledge that it's somehow been either dealt with or
superseded. 

However, I seem to have spotted several false negatives. Here are a
couple:

http://markmail.org/message/2asd5fg73v5bqgzb
http://markmail.org/message/kt56kjokj2lg7av6

These two patches do not appear to be anywhere on patchwork.

(I could simply also flag patches that are unknown to patchwork, but
that rather defeats the purpose of using patchwork and is also already
quite slow.)
