What's your procmail recipe for delivering messages? If you're storing it directly to a mbox file, dovecot will never get a chance to see it and update the indices.
An example of invoking LDA to store messages

We let procmail deliver mail straight to the mbox file. Usualy dovecot picks up the change and reads the mailbox, probably by checking timestamps.
It used to work just fine before i turned mailbox_list_index on. Is using dovecot-lda a prerequisite for using mailbox_list_index?
