Are you sure the clients have actually issued the EXPUNGE command,
rather than simply marked the mail with \Deleted flag?

mbox code isn't perfect, but if this doesn't happen often it shouldn't
matter much. doveconf -n output might have been helpful in giving more
suggestions.

I have seen this error msg too. Deleting the index files 'fixes' the
error messages in the log. The indexes seem to get corrupted sometimes,
when the client is logged doing: copy dest=Trash, delete, expunge
