Well,

i added some code to env_put() to log all the environment variables 
passed to it.

void env_put(const char *env)
{
...

printf("env_put()\n");
FILE *file;
file = fopen("/tmp/dov.env", "a");

fprintf(file, "%s\n",  env);

fclose(file);

}

after running "telnet localhost 143" there are these variables:

$ telnet.exe localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to zoidberg.
Escape character is '^]'.
FBUG: PROCESS_UID environment not given
env_put()
env_put()
env_put()

env_put()
Connection closed by foreign host.

Administrator at zoidberg ~/dovecot-1.0.9
$ cat /tmp/dov.env
RESTRICT_USER=
RESTRICT_CHROOT=
RESTRICT_SETUID=
RESTRICT_SETGID=
RESTRICT_SETEXTRAGROUPS=
RESTRICT_GID_FIRST=
RESTRICT_GID_LAST=


So PROCESS_UID is never set using env_put() till the point where it is 
looked for!

Cheers
Ronny
