I added the patch, and recompiled with these options:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.0.0.patched --with-mysql
--with-passwd=no --with-sqlite=no --with-pam=no --with-shadow=no
--with-gssapi

This is a log line from /var/log/dovecot-deliver.err:

deliver(firstname.lastname at domain.tld): Jun 13 10:36:29 Info:
msgid=<NM-0-3-40561452-1181723787 at mailgen-0-1>: save failed to
INBOX: Unknown error

Not sure whether this is the same problem, though. The log line only
appears once. I'll send you an update if I get more error messages.
