Here's a guess: Try sending the same mail to two users, so that LMTP gets two RCPT TOs in the same session. You'll probably now see the error?

LMTP always delivers the mail to the first user. Then it tries to copy the first mail to the second user, because in some setups this can be done using hard links. With mbox that of course doesn't work, but looks like instead of failing silently it logs an error. So everything is working as it should, except there are these unnecessary errors logged. I'll see about getting rid of them.
