I have the exact same issue. I just figured that it is malformed MIME spam that Dovecot cannot digest. It can happen on any of our mail clients: Outlook, OE, TB at the frequency of about every 3 ~ 6 months. Delete the offending mail, and harmony is returned. Next time it happens, I'll try to do an autopsy on the bad mail and try to determine what is different about it. ..

We see it here as well, though I'm not sure it's exactly the same problem. It's always been a very short message with incorrect headers, _no_ subject header and no message body. Dovecot can't digest it.
I have a bit of trouble believing that it's Dovecot that can't handle it. Much more likely is that the clients or something between them can't handle it. But if you can show that Dovecot can't handle some specific message correctly I'd really like to know about it.
