Oops, I hit Reply instead of Reply To All. So here is what I sent to
Paul, just for posterity:

Did you change from a 32bit to a 64bit machine, or anything like that? 

As far as I can tell this error comes up when the files were written
with one offset and are accessed with another. The file offset can be
changed with the ./configure switch, --with-file-offset= either 32 or
64. see ./configure --help. 

Also, you can removed your index files (`cd Maildir; find . -name
'dovecot.index*' -exec rm -f {} \;`) and they will be rewritten on next
access.
