Haven't tested the script with dovecot-lda yet, so it might just reside 
in the wrong place. :)

The managesieve patch places the .dovecot.sieve file inside the 
specified CONTROL directory and if that is unspecified it is placed in 
the root of the maildir itself. Normally this would not be a problem, 
but since dovecot does not use a maildirfolder file and does not check 
whether the 'folder' is a directory at all it is simply listed in the 
subscription dialog of my mail software:

xi:/home/test/Maildir# ls -la

drwx--S--- 7 mail mail  4096 2006-07-14 23:23 .
