Are you using NFS or some other remote/shared filesystem? Do these messages repeat more than once for the same mailbox? Have you recently upgraded from Dovecot v1.x?
No NFS. The file system is local. Yes. There are multiple copies of the message for multiple mailboxes for each of at least two users. Yes. Did recently upgrade from 1.2.15.
