So the only problem is if the last uidlist rename() fails. But that I hope won't fail because it's done inside the same directory, and the maildir root directory is pretty static.

So looks like at least Linux+ext3 allows rename()s that replace existing files, but doesn't allow rename()s that simply change the file's name. This would be enough for the dovecot-uidlist.lock renaming.
Can someone try if this works the same with filesystem quotas, and with other operating systems and filesystems? Same here with OpenBSD and ffs:
$ mv asd0 asd1 $ echo $? 0 $ mv asd0 bsd0 mv: rename asd0 to bsd0: Disk quota exceeded $ echo $? 1
