Replying to myself. It seems that DEFAULT_MAIL_ENV is *required* in
order for dovecot-lda to operate correctly (this is a big limitation,
IMHO). The problem was that I was not setting it to the correct value.
For the list archives, the correct answer is as follows.
Add the following line to dovecot.conf:
default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir
and in .qmail-default for the domain have this line:
| /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER
and then add a .dovecot.sieve file in the virtual user home directory
(typically /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/user) and it will be
compiled and acted upon.
