I recall having the same problem. I think the "date.saved" is not instantiated in the cache until you query for it. So the value you were shown is when you last dumped its value if it wasn't previously set -- your run of same values coincided when you ran "doveadm fetch". My expunge script just uses date.received instead -- it seems to work.
