FWIW, I have the same exact problem. This happens when `expunging' a mbox or QUIT-ting a POP3 session. The consequence is the email is not deleted (good), the next fetchmail will get another, identical message.
I keep having the problem. I do my testing with :
on one terminal : ,---- | while ((1)); do echo "test" | mail -s 'test' zzzzzzz; sleep 10; done `----
on one machine, a fetchmail -d 10
The logs:

A precision: /var/mail is a NFS filesystem (from a Netapp). The indexes are on a local disk.
The same test on a box with a local spool (no NFS) does not trigger the errors. On both machines, this is dovecot-0.99.10.4 from the FreeBSD ports.
Any ideas?
