Consider a project_issue node with more than 200 followups. When a new followup appears, "new" shows up next to the node title on my issue list. When I visit the node, the new comments are marked with "new" as well... except the new comments do not appear because they are on "page 2." When I click on "page 2" to see them, they are no longer marked new because now I've read the node more recently than the comment was created.

Fixing this is going to hurt because (I think) the comment "new" marker is based on the node read time and we certainly do not want to always require people to read all pages of comments before marking it not new anymore.
