I know this isn’t going to be much help, but I fixed this problem by
finally figuring out which account it was complaining about, and
removing all .mbsyncstate files under the Inbox subdirectory.

It was a bit difficult figuring out which account and subdirectory were
the issue, but I finally noticed my work email hadn’t been updating on
my home machine.

Here’s the important bits from ‘mbsync -a -V -Dsm’:

    Channel work
    Opening master store work-remote...
    Resolving imap.secureserver.net... ok
    Connecting to imap.example.net (ip.ad.dr.ess:993)...
    Opening slave store work-local...

      entry (18073,8946,8,)
      …snip a few thousand lines…

    Error: incompatible journal version (got 2, expected 3)

mbsync then merrily continued taking care of the rest of folders before
going on to the next account.
