That's because cyr_expire blew up halfway through rewriting the file.

sync_server used to break cyrus.expunge files if new messages appeared in 
the middle of a mailbox: fixed in CVS on 4/10/2007.

"reconstruct -k" still breaks cyrus.expunge files unless you apply the 
patch I sent in last week. I used that reconstruct on 50500 master and 
50500 replica accounts over the Christmas break, so it's had a fair test.
No one has moaned that I've thrown all their email away yet...
