According to the FAQ, it is to be expected in "rare instances", see
https://github.com/nicolas33/offlineimap/blob/master/docs/FAQ.rst:

| 1.1.9   Can I copy messages between folders?
| 
| Normally, when you copy a message between folders or add a new message
| to a folder locally, OfflineIMAP will just do the right thing.
| However, sometimes this can be tricky ― if your IMAP server does not
| provide the SEARCH command, or does not return something useful,
| OfflineIMAP cannot determine the new UID of the message. So, in these
| rare instances, OfflineIMAP will upload the message to the IMAP server
| and delete it from your local folder. Then, on your next sync, the
| message will be re-downloaded with the proper UID. OfflineIMAP makes
| sure that the message was properly uploaded before deleting it, so
| there should be no risk of data loss.
