Shouldn't it be the other way? mbox was the source, so its modseq should
had been considered authoritative, or not? One would expect that after
applying the (same) changes to mdbox that the modseq should converge to
be the same.

I'm just trying to understand whether the bug may be in the mdbox part
of the code. On another note I now switched to mdbox with bzip
compressed storage and everything seems nice and smooth. The server has
a much lower load when I connect and even the client I'm using
(evolution) which would previously crash due to timeouts is now working
much better (though still crashing, but that's not really related to
dovecot). The storage requirements have more than halved (15GB vs 34GB)
and are much easier to rsync/backup. I love mdbox. :)
