Problem solved. It was my fault... The pkg-maintainer Santiago instantly replied to my bug report and enlightened me about my broken procmailrc. I was missing the slashes after the Maildir paths so procmail didn't treat them as Maildirs but as.. well, dirs that don't require unique names.
Perhaps Dovecot should require at least minimal compliance from maildir filenames so problem like these wouldn't happen. IIRC Courier requires that filename starts with digit, otherwise it isn't touched.
Anyone have opinions either way?
One reason why I haven't added any checks is because while testing I often create filenames such as "foo", "foo2", etc. Might take a while to start remembering that digit is required as first character.
