The kernel matters a lot with NFS. Some kernels are more broken than
others. Attribute cache also matters. http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS

So deliver is also run on the same server? If all of it is done on the
same server, then pretty much the only thing you can change is the
kernel or somehow try to work around its bugs. I can think of only this
fix on Dovecot's side:

Hmm. Actually I just realized another reason that could cause these: Are
the clocks on the NFS server and on your Dovecot machine synchronized?
They must be less than 1 second apart at all times or you'll begin to
see problems.
