v1.2 is the first version that actually tries to handle permissions
correctly everywhere. In previous versions umask sometimes did something
and sometimes it didn't.

There's also umask setting in dovecot.conf that I think overrides the
UMASK in procmail. You could try setting it, but if that doesn't help
either then yeah, v1.2 or dovecot-shared are the only possibilities.
