So not a bug after all, just something I had never heard of before. This makes my duplicate fixing code pretty difficult to do correctly. I guess I'll go remove it completely then, it's not like anyone else does it either. :) Then again, if there do exist duplicates, it starts giving annoying error messages. Of course duplicates shouldn't normally happen either, but they do with maildir_copy_preserve_filenames=yes and stress testing.. I guess I'll leave this fix post-v1.0.
