I thought it did mark it as seen if you went to the topic (from the mentions list) ... but the indicator is lagging, you enter the topic and it still says "1" until you do another page refresh / navigation action.

Ohh... if it is that, it has been reported a couple of times by a couple of persons (one being Ant).
To fix it the only way is a redirectexit, that seems overkill for just a simple number that goes away once you navigate somewhere else (also considering is the same effect you have with PMs and nobody ever mentioned that).

Point is that it doesn't go away if you navigate somewhere else. I've navigated all over the place since yesterday and it's still there, For the same mention. Once it's up, it's up permanently. The only way to get rid of it is to deliberately go to the mentions page and clear it. This is, frankly, a PITA.
The PM indicator is different. That one does behave properly. It's only mentions that's borked.

Are you navigating to it from the mentions page or just navigating to it via unread messages?

Doesn't seem to make any difference which way I do it.

So assuming that it does clear when you navigate to the post from the mention tab (meaning it works as currently implemented)
What you want is that same "clear" the mention behavior should you navigate to a mentioned page from other areas such as new posts, recent posts, search results, etc?
Some of those do not navigate to the specific mentioned post, but only to somewhere in that topic. I'm not sure the behavior should be to clear the mention in those cases, right now it only clears on a direct link to the post.

I feel you should do it through javascript and make it "disappear" only when the mention actually enters the screen, otherwise you'd get the counter complains "my mentions disappear without me doing nothing".
