Same here.

This crux of these issues is them occurring sporadically and 
non-deterministically.

Same experience here.

This crux of these issues is them occurring sporadically and 
non-deterministically/non-reproducable.

Suddenly, I am facing duplicated mails.
Suddenly, filters stop working but are back after rebooting.
Sometimes, thunderbird becomes non-reactive for minutes longer periods 
(several minutes), but is back afterwards.
Sometimes, I find corrupted mails.
...

Simply, many small and sporadic issues occurring every now and then and 
no idea where and what to look for.
