I am almost tempted to think it is possible, but I have no evidence.
Let me put my case below.

Now that this has finally come up, let me also chip in with the
troubles that I have had with this file. I could possibly be overlooking
something rather obvious, but well, here is my experience:
First the basics:
Exim-4.41
Quota is imposed using the MTA.
Here is transport has the following options:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
check_string =
directory = ${home}/Maildir/
create_directory
directory_mode = 0700
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
group = mail
maildir_format
maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size
maildir_use_size_file
message_prefix = ""
message_suffix = ""
no_mode_fail_narrower
quota = ${lookup {$local_part} lsearch \
{EXIM_HOME/quota-maps}{$value}{100}}M
no_quota_is_inclusive
quota_size_regex = ,S=(\d+)$
quota_warn_message = "You have exceeded your Quota, yuck! yuck!"
quota_warn_threshold = 75%
return_path_add
mode = 0660
Every now and then I have this situation where mails to a
user are bounced because the "quota is exceeded".
At that particular moment, a check on disk usage inside
the Maildir shows that the quota is far from being hit.
Could this be symptom of the maildirsize file getting corrupted?
