I'm using Dovecot (on a remote server, though) and don't have any
problems appending large messages using Gnus.

Are you using the Gnus demon, e.g. for regularly checking your INBOX?
Could it be that the demon changes the mailbox while the APPEND is still
running?

If you cannot use IMAP debugging in Emacs, you can use the Dovecot's
"rawlog" utility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog . Maybe that
can shed some light on the issue.
