I went back to 1.15 of Mail::Tools yesterday afternoon, but it has done 
it with both that and the 1.67 versions.

Strangely, this morning it appears to have occurred once and corrected 
itself (only dumping about 1.2GB of data into the logs). I am pasting 
the beginning and ending (as best I can determine) of the event below.
