I can't reproduce that, the message gets deleted if something goes
wrong. I also don't see any files in tmp/ dirs in a system that has been
running for over a year. Does it happen every time with you?
Anyway, it might be useful to check tmp/ once in a while and delete the
files that could have possibly been left there (especially because of
crashes), but I'm not sure if it's Dovecot's job. It shouldn't
anyway be
done too often to avoid useless extra I/O. Maybe a daily cronjob with
something like:
find /var/mail -path 'tmp/*' -cmin +60 -print0|xargs -0 rm
