Good, you found an imapsync bug, it shouldn't break on any message. 
I suspect this message begins with blank characters,
it may not contain a good rfc 2822 header like:

Key1: Value1
Key2: Value2
Key3: Value3
   Value3 continues
   Value3 continues
Keys4: Value4
...

May be there is just a blank before "Key1: Value1". In that case
imapsync breaks like you've described it, I've just tested that.
The header may be like:

 Key1: Value1
Key2: Value2

Now fixed for next release 1.433 or superior, I added a regression
test about this issue. This first wrong line will be ignored.

The copy or move of this "bad" message might have fixed the issue
because the copy tool fix this first blank not wanted by rfc.

So do I put it on success or failure list?

Thanks for your feedback.
