Are you using ext3? I just found a bug in it that could cause this

It wasn't ext3's fault actually after all what I noticed. In your
other test the problems could be explained by
maildir_copy_preserve_filenames=yes but I'm not actually sure about
this. Can you still reproduce the errors with rc28?
However, I'm thinking to switch over to XFS, because ext3 does not
like directories with many files in it, most nagging is the fact
that ext3 does not shrink directories.
xfs is a lot slower than ext3 with maildir at least in my tests.
