A lot of duplicate GUIDS.

Recently I have in logs a LOT of messages like this:

# 2.2.devel (42f5200): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.devel (623ae77)
# OS: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian stretch/sid 

Only "suspected operation" was this sequence:

1. $doveadm mailbox rename RSS RSS-old
2. $doveadm mailbox create RSS
3.   ---------
     copy mails from RSS-old to RSS, and expunge from RSS-old - this
     operation fails and in dovecot logs were a lot of messages about
     duplicated guids
     ----------
4. $doveadm mailbox delete RSS-old

Initially in RSS mailbox were a lot of deleted and expunged  mails, but
I did not "doveadm purge"

I looks like "doveadm force-resync" helps, but I'm not sure if I lost
some mails?
