[Dovecot] why does dovecot child die on these messages?

Hi Timo and other dovecot fans,

why, when I'm trying to read certain "Drafts" emails that I just
created, or edited, do the dovecot children die (or so I think).

In mutt, the behaviour is that I "c =Drafts" then select the email and I
get "connection closed to squeaky.rubberduck.com".

In Mail.app - she just loops, trying to read those headers again and
again and again.. (and this truss is from this instance)

I find that emails before a certain date are OK - but if i edit them and 
then try and refetch them - the child dies yet again. So I removed all 
.imap.* and let dovecot redo it's stuff. No go.

Some followup information before the meat of the truss:
