FYI, I did resolve this issue, but not in the most elegant way.

What I did was back up the user's mbox, mail and .openwebmail 
directories, then use the BX GUI to remove the user.

Then I recreated the user.  I logged into OpenWebmail with the user 
account, then copied in the mail directories and then the OpenWebmail 
address book.

Now the account works fine once again.  I'm not sure what caused this to 
happen, and I'm not sure why it was not able to be properly repaired. 
But now at least we have the user getting into her mail again, so she's 
happy.
