I see these errors more often than I'd like from Dovecot-1.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 (names and numbers elided):

One or more users?

Corrupted index cache file %s: Corrupted virtual size for uid=%d: %d != %d
Corrupted index cache file %s: Broken virtual size for mail UID %d
Corrupted index cache file %s: used_file_size too large

How bad are these?

As long as Dovecot detects the corruption, the errors are transparent to users since Dovecot fixes them automatically.

 What should I look for to find out why they happen?

Other details:
File system is HFS+
Mail store is maildir
Hardware is Intel (Mac Pro)

Post your dovecot -n output? Can you reproduce these easily with my imaptest tool? http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest

One problem with HFS+ is that hard links are more or less buggy. But v1.1's default settings should include dotlock_use_excl=yes. You maybe should set maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no, but that shouldn't cause this bug.
