Show your dovecot -n output? I suppose the users don't have direct
access to these maildirs, and nothing else besides Dovecot and procmail
touches them?

This error means that Dovecot lost that file and thought it was
expunged. But sometimes afterwards it saw the file again.

v1.1 might not remove the root problem, but it will handle this better
by renaming the file and showing it to client as a new message instead
of returning "inconsistent state" error.
