If I send mail with content like this:

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008

and instead single messages created many messages.

Inside mbox file it looks like

real_message_headers
Status: O
X-Keywords:
Content-Length: 2859
X-UID: 1471

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008
X-UID: 1472
Status: O

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008
X-UID: 1473
Status: O

 From <test.dovecot at m.box> Wed Jan 09 01:33:55 2008
X-UID: 1474
Status: O

Yes, Content-Length headers present, but:
1. Why X-UID: and Status: headers inserted into message body?
2. Why IMAP client (thunderbird) show many empty messages instead single message?

Mbox related settings from dovecot -n is only:
mmap_disable: yes
mbox_write_locks: fcntl
mbox_min_index_size: 1024

To store messages used dovecot deliver.
