FWIW, I have the same exact problem. This happens when
`expunging' a mbox or QUIT-ting a POP3 session. The consequence
is the email is not deleted (good), the next fetchmail will get
another, identical message.

A non-informative message is displayed according to the
mail_storage_set_critical() func in lib-storage/mail-storage.c
and the actual error is not logged.

Wouldn't there be a problem with the call to this function in
lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c, line 496? The second
argument should be a vprintf() format string.
