I doubt it, but you could try if the attached patch logs a line whenever
a new message arrives. If it does get logged and Dovecot doesn't send an
EXISTS line to Thunderbird immediately, there's a bug. If that does
happen, the next step could be to try it manually instead of using
Thunderbird, e.g.:

telnet localhost 143
a login username password
b select inbox
c idle

and then see if the EXISTS gets sent.
