i recently migrated 3000 mailboxes
with imapsync from dove 1.x to 2.11
no problems

also done it from courier to dovecot but with different imapsync parameters

used this script

#!/bin/bash
FILE="$1"
for i in `cat $FILE`
do
USER=`echo "$i" | awk 'BEGIN { FS="," } { print $1
}'`
PASS=`echo "$i" | awk 'BEGIN { FS="," } { print $2
}'`

imapsync --authmech1 PLAIN --authmech2 PLAIN --sep2 / --prefix2 ""
--host1 ....  --user1 $USER --password1 $PASS --host2 ... --user2 $USER
--password2 $PASS --subscribe -delete2 --expunge2
echo "$USER done" >> imapsync.lst.log
done

the file imapsync.lst was something like
csv formated
user,password

i am nearly sure that there where some forwarded messages within
no user reported problems so far with any client

so you might look on your imapsync syntax
