This has continued to keep happening to me, about once a day or so.  
Is there something I can do to help you track this down?

No, actually that doesn't seem to work. I can kill and restart  
dovecot and the client (making sure all the processes have quit), and  
when I bring it back up it still complains about the lost transaction  
logs and won't let the client continue until the logs have been deleted.
