with dovecot running on both. On one server at a time, it works.

I guess GFS2 has some caching problems then..

dovecot:

Probably the easiest way is to just put the index files into local disk.

This means that dovecot.index file said that transaction log is synced up to offset 284, but when Dovecot was trying read the dovecot.index.log file, it found data only up to offset 104. So either GFS2 said that the file ended at offset 104, or it decided to return old data from cache. I guess it's the latter, because the log file reads are done without locking.
