What is the ",S" behind the offending filenane ?
It's a \Seen flag. The POP3 client doesn't even see it. It's there because client had issued the RETR command for the message so Dovecot marked it as \Seen.
I also did a head on the offending file (edited to protect the confused)
I didn't see anything special in it.
My suggestions still are:
The problem probably goes away if you enable SSL. Or maybe you could configure the firewalls not to look inside the POP3 traffic.
At least try if it goes away with pop3s. It most likely does.
