Actually, I had this problem this semester. It occurred for some new forums that I had created this semester. I was puzzled, and believed that when I created the new forums that I did not set them to "auto-subscribe." But maybe not? So, having discovered exactly what your instructor discovered, I made sure to set these new forums to auto-subscribe. But it seemed as though I was still unsubscribed to some forum topics, which I clicked to subscribe. I had never had this problem but seldom do I create new forums for the courses that I have been teaching for a while.
Anyway, I didn't have time to completely dig into what was going on. My courses just ended, so I will have to wait until next semester to see if I continue having a problem. My advice to you is to make sure that the forums are set to "auto-subscribe."
Maybe someone else will have some suggestions?
