I haven't heard of this before, but I would suggest you start with
running offlineimap -d imap -1

This will log the raw SMTP conversation.  If you see the trailing ">"
missing, then you will know you have a problem with either the server or
some low-level local networking libraries (outside OfflineIMAP).

Otherwise, the debugging output may still be useful.  I'd start there.
