I took the chance, and it doesn't seem to have any consequences. 
Several users have folders without a cyrus.header file*.  I have run a 
reconstruct on those folders only and then I was able to run quota -f 
user.login.  I also had to reset permissions on those folders too.

* I have no idea how those folders got there.  It looks like they come 
from a previous migration.
