Does the above look correct? Did you originally also have that ">"  
there? And that empty line? If so, I think those mails were written  
with a buggy Dovecot version and it's more of a miracle that you  
hadn't got this problem earlier. :) Probably because using  
mbox_very_dirty_syncs and the files' mtimes had never changed without  
there being some other changes in the mbox.

If you have a lot of such mails, I think it's a good idea to get rid  
of that extra new line (and maybe the extra From-line) and delete  
dovecot.index* files.
