[Dovecot] chdir failed, but requires group permissions

Using Debian Etch package dovecot-common and dovecot-pop3d, based on
1.0.rc15-2
My home directories are set up with 770 permissions as follows:
/home/<group name>/<user name>
Using this method, users MUST be a member of the appropriate group to
access their own home directory. If they are not, they can't chdir past
/home.
This appears to kill dovecot with a "chdir failed with id xxxx:
Permission Denied" error, immediately after authenticating a pop3 user.
I was able to make a user the owner of the <group name> directory, and
dovecot succeeded
But when the <group name> directory is owned by <group name>:<group
name> and the user is a member of the group - the process dies.
Any suggestions?
