I also ran the utility on the synced mailboxes and retried dsync but that did not fix it either. I'm really puzzled to why this is. How can I recognize a hybrid mailbox? All mailboxes only contain dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, dbox.index and u.* files.

If there are no filenames that begin with a number, then it's not a hybrid mailbox. If there are more u.* files than number of messages in a converted mailbox with dsync, then .. well .. I'd just use Dovecot v2.0 on the original non-converted mailbox:

doveadm -u username force-resync INBOX

This will make sure all of INBOX's u.* files are in the index files. Do the same for the rest of the mailboxes too.
