[Dovecot] Index corruption causes child process to die

My recent migration from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot has been marred by
these errors:
Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: IMAP(juha): Fixed index file
~user/Maildir/.Geekzone/dovecot.index: first_recent_uid_lowwater 431
-> 430
Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: IMAP(juha): Corrupted index file
~user/Maildir/.Geekzone/dovecot.index: Duplicate header extension
keywords
Oct 24 12:12:40 server dovecot: child 5786 (imap) killed with signal 11
They happen with Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 and I'm using Dovecot 1.0RC7 from
the FreeBSD ports.
I think the index corruption may be caused by Tbird's message
filtering - I'm asking it to filter certain messages from INBOX to
subfolders.
When the error occurs, Tbird pops up an error message saying it can't
connect to the mail server, but I don't lose any messages it seems.
Instead, I get duplicates and even triplicates when I restart Tbird.
Any work around for this?
