You mean the source and destination are on different filesystems? Then  
this is more or less expected, because then "mv" isn't an atomic  
operation. Dovecot sees and reads the message before mv has finished  
writing it. That's the point of having the tmp/ directory. Mails  
should be written there first, then atomically renamed to new/.
