It's just because of how the code was written. In maildir code if fdatasync_path() returns -1, the code continues returning -1 which eventually causes the entire operation to fail and an error be returned to user. With dbox the code just didn't bother checking if fdatasync_path() returned -1 or 0. With mbox it never even calls that function.
