Using dovecot v2.2.5.5, I get the following:

That’s definitely a bug, but I’m not sure how to reproduce it. Can you create such a test maildir where this happens that you could send to me? For example you could change all the mail contents to just use “x” letters. Here’s a script that does it: http://dovecot.org/tools/maildir-anonymize.pl
Most likely this is related to your specific dovecot.index* files, and deleting them would fix the problem. I’d still like to fix the real bug though.
I don’t see why it would repeatedly happen, although I did find a bug that could cause that behavior during race conditions: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/dbe7c5a0021e
