Looks like Dovecot itself doesn't break:

Error: Reached maximum UID in mailbox mail/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index, 
rebuilding index

Then it will reassign new UIDs for mails. 1.0-tests don't do that 
anymore, have to fix that some day.

Thunderbird and probably several others will break with UIDs larger 
than 2^31 because they use signed integers to store UIDs. That could be 
considered a bug, since IMAP RFC specifies UIDs are 32bit..
