I've looked a bit further into this problem. On delivery 'deliver' adds
a "From " (not "From: ") header. Why is that btw? - This is Maildir
delivery.

Anyway, when a mail with a "From " header is forwarded as a
"message/rfc822" attachment and delivered with 'deliver'. 'deliver'
simply kills everything from the "From " line (in the "message/rfc822"
attachment).

% grep -n -A6 "message/rfc822" 1152170973.7420.silver
34:Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="Testing"

36-Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Testing"

Any chance to get that fixed before Dovecot 1.0?
