Like mine. I don't think this is *bad* since it's, AFAIK, Dovecot
only use in homedir to expand %h. Or do I miss another point?

Okay, sorry for the confusion. I don't know why I though it was doing
some chdir() in a part of mail_location, which has no sense.

OK, that would explains everything actually, depending on what you call
home directory. :-) If it's the user's home, it really has no sense
since nowhere it returns something with /var/spool/postfix.

Well, anyway, I changed my setup to return absolute path and it seems to
work, the mails got delivered.

I really suggest you[1] rather try to reproduce and fix the bug, or
really disallow relative path in home directory since it's seems
partly-broken, or maybe only for large file (your theory :).

[1] Yeah, I know, it's easy to say... :-)
