This is kind of a feature. Currently if two mailboxes have a same name, but different GUID, dsync doesn't even try to merge them but instead renames one of them.

So don't do initial sync with rsync, but with dsync. Alternatively you need to first get each mailbox assigned a GUID, for example: doveadm -A mailbox status guid '*'

That can't be possible, something else is happening. What does dsync and auth log with debugs enabled when this happens?
