It does seem to be buggish behaivour. I suggest you report it. It may
well be that it quits because it no longer knows where the end of that
message may be.

If you have access to webmail you could delete it easily enough, or you
could use telnet to make a POP session by hand and delete it.

telnet popserver pop3
user bob
pass bobpassword
list
#Check that it's message X
head X
dele X
quit
