Fred,
I think I confused you.  (It sounds as though David understood me, though.)
I think bogofilter does adequate locking (or what is hoped to be adequate).
I was wondering whether updates might occur during the period when I
ran db_verify, updates which might have caused the very errors I saw.
(Which would make them entirely spurious, I hope.)

I need to do some more testing ...
