While I agree entirely with "don't use Cyrus over NFS", I see these errors 
using a local filesystem. A quick grep pins the likely cause down to 
message_copy_strict(), which is called by append_fromstream().

I don't think that this is anything more sinister than TCP connections 
dropping out partway through a large IMAP APPEND operation. Entirely safe.
