.courier files belong in an account's home directory. Not its maildir.You have configured your system so that the account's home directory and maildir are conflated together. That, undoubtedly, is causing problems somehow.

It's not necessary deliver that's issuing the error, but a delivery script that's spawned by deliver, which has no means to control what error messages the child process emits.

Ok, then let's take a look at an example where it does not work fine.
In my case no /etc/courier/maildroprc, no HOME/.mailfilter is used. The default delivery is executed.
And the default delivery is…? It can't be the default Courier configuration, which is $HOME/Maildir, since you have a non-standard configuration that uses the same directory for both the account's home directory and its maildir, which is not recommended.
