I don't get why SBBSecho would sometimes send you a short message when importing echomail and sometimes not. I'm doubtful that is true.

I committed changes to log details when the notification messages are created (or not, due to error).

Most likely the notification message was created and "displayed" on the node that you left connected. I realize you think you have evidence to the contrary, but I'm skeptical. Do you have custom message reading script or shell or something that could be deleting the message without saving it to the *.last.msg chain?
