exim_tidydb *should* not touch any message files. It deals with db files
beneath db/ only.
(IMHO)

This may be related to crashes of Exim. Normally Exim cleans up properly
in face of "normal" errors (dropped connection, …) But, if Exim gets
killed violently, loss of -H or -D files may happen.
Do you use NFS?
Do you have multiple instances of Exim accessing the same directory?
How can you tell that's related to exim_tidydb and the cron job?
