I haven't seen this myself, but I suppose its possible that there is a 
race between the time that the message-id/recipient of the first message 
gets stored in the database and the second message gets delivered, 
especially if they are handled by separate lmtpd processes.  If this is 
happening within a single LMTP transaction, then I'd say its a bug.
