This happened a while back, I was running 1.1rc3 up until today so I have no idea if it would have an effect. Sorry if its something that has been fixed. The error below was repeated many many times, I deleted the index so the user would stop getting disconnected (although I didn't hear any complaints).
Only the index, not dovecot-uidlist also? I don't think it got fixed until dovecot-uidlist was deleted/fixed.

Here Dovecot already marked cache file to be corrupted, causing it to be rebuilt.

Now this is the problem. Why did Dovecot think the message is 38 kB and save it to dovecot-uidlist? How far do your snapshots go? Is it possible that the file was modified somehow? Are ctime and mtime the same?
I guess Dovecot should also automatically fix broken dovecot-uidlist fields. I'll add in TODO.
