Hi Timo,
Now it is a little bit late as I had to switch off 1.1.2 and revert to
1.0.RC2, where I don't see these errors any more. The server is in kind
of production and I cannot just swap versions and disable my beloved
users... at the moment.
1. The first is right, 1.1.2 complains about something after 1.0.RC2,
but every folder is listed just once in the log, what indicates self
healing.
2. Hard to replicate, you need to have multiple users accessing same
folders, folders are auto-mounted through NFS, mail agent Thunderbird
and/or Outlook, effective UID/GID gives write permissions only on
'drwxrws---' folders thorugh SGID, otherwise only owner has write
permissions, therefore often building indices in memory. Thunderbird
seems to go into endless loop while trying to rebuild indices, where it
fails to respond. The section below repeats endlessly until dovecot + TB
are killed.

I have 1.1.2 side installation, so I could try though...

Hi all,
I've switched versions from the 1.0.RC2 to 1.1.2. Now I see a number of
errors, e.g.:
dovecot: Aug 28 12:58:06 Error: IMAP(user): Log synchronization error at
seq=1,offset=24
for /home/user/mailarchive/Tools/Cadence/.imap/Cadence/dovecot.index:
Broken extension introduction: Record

Do these happen often? Or maybe it's just a buggy log file that 1.0.rc2
wrote and 1.1.2 complained about?

These are a bit more strange. You could see if running with this patch
for a while helps: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/7f5cc9e805ec
But in any case it would be helpful if you could figure out a way to
reproduce it.
