Out of quota isn't handled too well if it happens for indexes or
dovecot-uidlist file. Best way to get it working now would be to place
them in different partition without quota with INDEX and CONTROL
settings in default_mail_env.

For 1.0 I'll try to get it working much better, but there's still some
unsolvable(?) theoretical problems if dovecot-uidlist file can't be
updated (how do you make sure same UID won't be given twice for
different messages, if you can't save the UIDs between sessions?).
