OK now I understand...

Postfix receives mails in firstname.lastname at domain.com format, and does
an LDAP lookup to Active Directory to determine the 'flastname'
login-name format (for delivery to /home/AD/flastname/Maildir/).

It would then seem that we'd need a method to do a reverse lookup at
Dovecot's 'deliver' time and determine the valid To: addresses from
LDAP. Does this sound vaguely possible without major engineering work?

Ha :) Work with me here; I'm trying to pull people /away/ from the beast
so the experience needs to be as drool-proof as possible as people leave
their comfort zone :)
