These usually happen because the mbox file has two adjacent From-line, 
ie:

 From foo ...
 From bar ...
Message-headers: ...

That shouldn't happen normally though. Sounds like something is wrong 
with how your mails are written. Are all the software that are writing 
to the mbox using same lock methods?

Anyway, 1.0-test/stable versions of Dovecot can handle the adjacent 
From-lines too without failing.
