I usually only get this kind of notification when a token is added to a task I follow, for other events I get a task or nothing.

I don't understand the problem described...

It happened to me but only in Wikimedia Phabricator, there I had a notification counter in the top-bar, but with no unread messages in the related list

The current workaround is to wait for a real notification, to then finally be able to click the Mark All Read.

So I guess a minor mitigation would be: allow to click the Mark All Read if the counter is non-zero.

The mark all read link in the notifications dropdown panel is always available. (It did clear the phantom notification.)

Uh interesting - good to know for the future. So at least the button Mark All Read here in F3271029 should be enabled for your case - as very minimal mitigation sub-task
