This is the real problem. It shouldn't be happening. Either something
outside Dovecot is breaking mboxes in a way Dovecot doesn't expect, or
Dovecot's index files are being broken, or locking is broken.

Are you using NFS? What other software than Dovecot touches the mboxes?
Do users have direct access to the mboxes? Try changing
lock_method=fcntl?

This isn't good, but it's most likely caused by the above problem.
