That's still a bit confusing .. It's 4 shared accounts, because there are 4 different mailboxes, not because there are 4 people?

If there were different accounts accessing the same shared mailbox, I could see why it might sometimes not notice all the latest changes (because they'd be using different index files then and might miss changes in maildir - although even that shouldn't happen). But if the clients aren't seeing changes for the same shared account, then I can't really think of any good reason for your problem. All clients are notified of all changes when Dovecot sees them. There shouldn't be any change from how v1.2 worked.
