There should be something in log files.
I also tried looking at the log, but it appears to be a binary (located in /home/<username>/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log) not a readable text file.
You're looking into wrong place. :) See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging
Here is the actual log entries when the failure happens:

Previous info for context:
Running on Fedora 7, error happening on both Dovecot 1.05, and now that I upgraded to 1.07, same thing occurs.
dovecot -n
