This is indeed a bug in Binc that I was just about to report myself! :)
(Or rather check on..)

http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html specifies how filenames are to be created
by a maildir delivery agent. Specifically I believe Binc doesn't support the
modern delivery identifiers fully.

(On a related note, procmail can only make ten (0..9) deliveries to the
same folder in one process, before starting to generate invalid filenames.)
