It is curious how the corruption happened, however. It appears something damaged the cache itself.

Thinking about this some more after looking at the code, this bug can occur when the user edits the message after the header has been cached. The code checks that the mtime is newer than what is in the cache, and re-reads the message to refresh, but in this case the content length is not updated. So it should always update the content length.
