Did you enable content filtering in Outlook? I've seen things like this
before, when Outlook decides the contents of a message are spam or
otherwise unwanted.
Another possible explanation could be that Outlook has an inconsistent
view of the mail 'folder'. Either because you are also using different
MUA's with the same IMAP account, or because Outlook's local cache gets
bigger than the ANSI limit of 1 (or 2?) GB.

[side note: does anybody know how to disable this cache crap? Outlook
converts Base64 Unicode-messages to 'parsed' text. In case the original
was e.g. in Cyrillic, the local cache will contain '?' for every character
not in US-ASCII orso. Moving mails to other folders does not copy the
base64 contents, but the 'translated' contents. Thus destroying the
message...]
