Yup. The corrupted files actually contain dot-lock data
(pid:hostname) followed by a bunch of nulls. For instance, a mail
file with an S=3368 flag in the file name contains
"12345:mail.example.com" (22 bytes) followed by 3346 nulls. I'm
unfamiliar with how dovecot uses dot-lock files; is this more likely
to be dovecot's fault or a disk corruption?
Sounds more like disk corruption. Mail files start empty and pid:host is never written to them at any point.
