This is similar to an old bug #5220 from 2005, but it's occurring for me right now. I perpetually have the message "Talk:You have new messages" at the top of every page, even while I'm viewing my talk page, or any other page. The last edit to my talk page was MiszaBot archiving some old threads. I am using the Chrome browser. If I duplicate my Wikipedia tab, the problem persists in the second tab too. Experimenting in other tabs while I type this, the only way I have found to make it go away is to manually enter https://en.wikipedia.com in the URL field of the browser. Navigating anywhere by clicking will not cure the problem, I have to enter a URL manually. Stray cookie doesn't get reset when I visit my own talk page, perhaps?
This was being worked on for a while and apparently has just been fixed by bsitu.
