So it looks like the cache file doesn't actually get deleted? Make a  
copy of the dovecot.index* files and delete the cache file. Perhaps  
the error goes away then? If that helps, I could then ask you to  
copy&paste some of the idxview results from the copy so I could figure  
out why it wasn't really deleting the file.

Or are you sure you're looking at the right index files, in the right  
mailbox? :)
