Well, if you don't use the homedir from your SELECT anywhere, it's not 
good for anything. Dovecot will go on using the domain and userid as 
given by the user.

Does not matter. It's mainly used for being referred with %h.

Does not matter, AFAIK. And works here without.

ok, it seems that "mail" overrides default_mail_env. But then it should 
look like "maildir:/some/path", I think (but I'm not really sure about 
that).
