Are you using NFS? What other software than Dovecot touches the mboxes? Do users have direct access to the mboxes? Try changing lock_method=fcntl?
I am not using NFS and I tried changing the lock_method. The problem persists. It appears to happen each time the mbox contents are modified, i.e. when deleting a message or when moving a message into the problematic folder. BTW, this only happens with one of the folders. I can only fix it (temporarily) by removing the indexes and the lock file.
So you can easily reproduce this with an IMAP clien?
Could you put the problematic mbox through http://dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl and send it to me?
