No. There should be no changes between 1.0.3 and 1.0.7 that could cause
this. So I don't think the problem is with the version number change,
but something else.

Setting mail_debug=yes (and maybe auth_debug=yes) and looking at logs
would show what Dovecot is really using as home directory and mail
location.
