Turns out the offending message was on a POP server. It was happening
when I tried to pop a message off of a server and stick it onto my IMAP
server (which happens through a filter). I logged into the web access
to my pop account, deleted the top message, and evolution was able to
pop the rest*.

* It happened once again with a different message, so I repeated the
procedure and it hasn't happened since. Still, it seems that evolution
should be more robust in face of this kind of error -- I couldn't get
any of my other mail off of the POP server until I manually rectified
the problem.
