Summary:
After using Message.app for a while, the app's icon in the Dock shows an unread badge count of 1, even though every thread in the application has been read (I checked, manually).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up Messages.app
2. Receive some messages, reply to some messages.
3. Receive a new message while Messages.app is in the background.
4. Focus the app and click the unread message thread.

Expected Results:
The unread badge count disappears when all threads are read.

Actual Results:
The unread badge counts stays at "1".

Version:
Messages Version 9.2 (5100)

Notes:
Sometimes killing the Dock process while the app is open will clear the badge, but then it reappears persistently when the next message is received from someone.
