The first problem: home == mail && LAYOUT=maildir++.
So ~/.dovecot.sieve will be created inside
root=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me. IMAP will see the mailbox dovecot
with the child mailbox sieve.
When the directory /mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me/.dovecot.sieve exists
you are unable tor create a file/link with same name in your "home dir".
Please read: http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home

It performs only permissions lookups. That was fixed 9 days ago:

SELECT 'maildir:~/Maildir' AS mail, CONCAT(homedir, "/", maildir) AS home, …
