The problem is what it says. It has wrong W value:

It doesn't get fixed by itself easily, best would be to rename the file
and drop the ,W=nnn part from it entire. But this will then cause the
mail show up as new.

Looking at the filename it wasn't created by Dovecot, so what ever
created it wrote the W= value wrong.

Yes, self healing doesn't work and deleting indexes doesn't work. Only
thing that works is to rename the file.
