[Dovecot] dovecot bug: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file

[Justin Piszcz]

Package: dovecot-imapd
Version: 1.2.9-1
Distribution: Debian Testing x86_64

Problem: See below.

..

Looking further I found this (which is when the problem began to appear in 
the logs):

First time:
Jan  2 09:33:25 l1 dovecot: IMAP(user): Next message unexpectedly 
corrupted in mbox file /home/user/Mailbox at 10599

Due to:

2010-01-02 05:00:29 configure dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1 1:1.2.9-1
2010-01-02 05:00:29 status unpacked dovecot-common 1:1.2.9-1

2010-01-02 05:00:38 status installed dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.9-1

During an apt-get dist-upgrade..

Did dovecot 1.2.9 include this patch:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2009-December/015177.html

So now one sees the message, whereas before, no message was shown? 
Nothing to be concerned about?
