[Dovecot] DoveCot IMAP and "inconsistent state" messages

Did you ever figure out this problem? I'm having what appears to be the exact 
same issue with SquirrelMail. Running Dovecot 1.0.14 (Maildir) and 
Squirrelmail 1.4.15, both from and on Debian. Procmail is occasionally 
dropping in mail in the background, which the previous message indicated 
might be related.

Debug log shows:

Jul 21 14:27:41 betty dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Maildir 
/var/vpopmail/domains/foobar.baz/foobar/Maildir sync: UID inserted in the 
middle of mailbox (4412 > 4385, file = 1214817167.16333_0.betty:2,RST)
Jul 21 14:27:41 betty dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Disconnected: Mailbox is in 
inconsistent state, please relogin.

Symptom is us the typically unhelpful expunge error message from SM, or even 
connection dropped on regular fetches, and user is logged out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as none of my testing thus far have 
made any difference, and I can't seem to find any hints elsewhere.
Could upgrading to 1.1 help at all? (I'd rather not try unless I know for 
sure)

TIA
