You mean the source and destination are on different filesystems? Then this is more or less expected, because then "mv" isn't an atomic operation. Dovecot sees and reads the message before mv has finished writing it. That's the point of having the tmp/ directory. Mails should be written there first, then atomically renamed to new/.
Yes, therefore I tested the other cases, too, where the mail is written to tmp first.
