This is the problem. Your MDA should enforce the quota usage. There's no guarantees that Dovecot updates maildirsize after the Maildir has been modified externally. Even when it updates it, it uses a different code path ("quota recalculation"), which doesn't trigger quota warnings.
So use Dovecot's deliver and it'll do the quota enforcing and warnings.
Thanks Timo, we just reviewed the information in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and we'll begin to test a new configuration shortly.
I hope to be back with good news soon ;)
