I'm also wondering that.

But this doesn't seem correct either. File size + linecount should be
the same as W. Is the file size really 1377 bytes?

For example a file that Dovecot has created:

% wc -cl 1224418671.M66880P13668.hurina,W=2087
  56 2031 1224418671.M66880P13668.hurina,W=2087
% echo 2031+56|bc
2087
