Have you tried to build the SRPM available at 
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/dovecot-1.2.5-2.fc12.src.rpm 
?

I do know that these are probably not the words you want to hear now, 
but i would advise you to test upgrades on a test system, deploying 
changes to the production server only after you know everything is alright.

R's,

Hugo Monteiro.
