Sorry for the self-reply here. I did some more digging and found the
following.

The problem seems to be caused by the 'new' directory created by dovecot
in my root mail folder. The 'cur' and 'tmp' directories do not seem to
have any affect.

If I remove 'new' before the sync and restore it after, it works as
expected.

Second, I downgraded to 6.3.4 from Fedora 16 and with that I do not
experience this problem. I am running that for now, but it would be nice
to get it fixed correctly.

Cheers,
Jes
