Does he have direct access to the maildir?
No.
Do you use Dovecot's deliver or something else to deliver the new mails?
No, we only use deliver.
But: I have a nightly scan of all mailboxes for viruses, which I delete directly from the maildir. But this account is the only one to expose the errors shown above in a regualr fashion.
Or does new mail get delivered to these mailboxes only via IMAP COPY/APPEND?
It's a normal email account, so he gets his mail via Postfix -> deliver
