The final resolution for #1 was to use this in the Postfix main.cf file:

mailbox_command = /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f "$SENDER"

The workaround for #2, as mentioned earlier, was to make sure to index ALL
mailboxes (using mbox_min_index_size = 0, which is the default).
Until this is fixed, please know that you must have mbox_min_index_size set
to 0 if you are using mbox format, perhaps others as well, in RC10.
The problem did not exist in RC6.  I don't know about the ones in between.
