Edited January 20, 2007 to say...nevermind my post below. It's not applicable to PPC at all. <shrug> Ooops.

... It really is inconvenient not to know if you really have a new VM or it the icon is just stuck.
I haven't had this problem but noticed something on my phone this weekend and just thought I'd throw it out there to see if it might be helpful. I've got a voicemail right now that I have NOT listened to so I have the icon in the top bar that looks like the reel to reel tape thingy...kind of like a cassette symbol. This is the indicator I think you all are referring to as staying on even after you've listened to your messages.
BUT, I also have a "voicemail" homescreen plug-in that indicates how many voicemails I have waiting. Is that stuck on yours too - and so not providing an accurate count? I was thinking if it was just the top most icon bar indicator that was stuck, that if you don't already have the voicemail plugin on your homescreen, then perhaps you could add it so you'd have at least that as an aide.
The wm5 plug-in xml looks like this:
