I think I've found an additional data point on this problem. Every
time I notice that there hasn't been update in some time, terminating
IDLE mode always results in an EXPUNGE message. I don't know what is
doing an expunge on a single message (and I'm not doing an expunge in
any of my mail clients). I can only assume this might have something
to do with Dovecot sieve addflag (this is just a guess), as all of the
messages I've seen so far listed as being expunged instantly reappear
with an explicit or implied EXISTS and have an IMAP flag on them.
Hope this helps.

ps. I haven't tried a kernel that has inotify yet, but I'll try that next
and/or turning off any addflag statements in .dovecot.sieve.
