This sounds like a cache issue, in which case this will resolve itself within 24h, but I'm not sure why a wrong value would be cached here.

Considering a refresh fixes it, it sounds to me like the follow request notification is clearing the relationships in the frontend (i.e. setting it to "follows you" and not "mutual"). Then, since it already has a value, the relationship is never re-fetched/updated until a refresh.
