The problem /seems/ to often start as a result of trying to move messages between folders. I'm not certain if that's a root cause, though, or simply a consequence of "opening" an affected folder to perform the move. I have a spam folder with a large number (>10000) of messages in it, and trying to file stuff in there is a relatively surefire way to generate the problem.
Try if dotlock_use_excl=yes helps. That setting was made to fix hard linking problems with HFS.
After a week or so of intensive testing, it appears that we have a winner!
That does indeed seem to resolve the problem - whilst it was sporadic to begin with, it generally only took a couple of days to manifest itself, so I'm reasonably confident that it's gone away.
Many thanks!
