Selinux wasn't running.
I can reproduce the problem with this setup:
- restore the maildir with the broken index.cache
- run
/usr/bin/doveadm -D expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 1win an infinite loop - use horde webmail to access the mail with IMAP
- randomly display messages
I could reproduce the problem on: Linux-2.6.37-hardened-r7 Linux-2.6.39-hardened-r8 Linux-3.0.4-hardened-r5 Linux-3.0.6-gentoo Linux-3.1.4-gentoo
However I failed to reproduce the problem on: Linux-2.6.36-hardened-r9
So it seems it was introduced in 2.6.37. I'm going to inspect it later on. By wishing you a God blessed merry Christmas I thank you for the support ;)

Yes, it is reproducible.
About the file, I have tarred up the original maildir before I deleted

dovecot.index.cache, so when I try to bring in the original file, a 'cat' does no harm. Moreover, I've tried to do this will all files on the virtual machine, same results - no harm.
Is selinux running? If so, turn it off and see if that helps. And turn off anything/everything else on this Linux VM that's not running on the other Dovecot VMs you mentioned are working properly. Let's do some process of elimination here.
