[Dovecot] trying to make cmusieve happen globally

IIRC it should show CMU Sieve warnings too (it's way old). Going forward using Pigeonhole would make more sense IMHO as it spits out more useful information. Can you also post the relevant Postfix 'main.cf' and 'master.cf' sections?

If it is not using the LDA, I don't know what it is doing.  There have
been several hundred thousand messages going from Postfix to Dovecot
since I installed this a few months ago, all successfully arriving in
the appropriate user INBOX as far as I can tell.  Note that I am using
a gmail account for this mailing list because I set this up way back
when I was installing the mail server, and chose to leave this set up
just in case things break.  Right now, the mail server is working
"fine" except for the sieve part behaving as if there is no sieve
part.  I just started trying to run it today.

part of main.cf is:
================================================================ begin
# Use Dovecot SASL for authentication to submit email.
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes

# Use Dovecot for transport delivery.
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_mailbox_domains = cdb:/var/maildb/domains
virtual_mailbox_maps = cdb:/var/maildb/mailbox
================================================================ end

part of master.cf is:
================================================================ begin
#
# This is used by "virtual_transport = dovecot" in main.cf
#
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -a
${recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -f ${sender}
================================================================ end

Note that the -a ${recipient} part was added on today, due to this
being shown in the http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve page.  I tested
that it did not break ordinary delivery.  But things have been working
(sans sieve) for months without it.  I just assumed sieve might need
it, or benefit from it.

The filesystem access timestamps are not showing any accesses
happening on either sieve file except my own accesses from the command
line.

I do see the following as suspicious, that the settings in "protocol
lda" do not show up in "dovecot -n" at all.  But I don't know if they
should or not.  Of particular concern was that "main_plugin" was
missing.  But here (domain name redacted with XXXXXXXXXXXX) is the
whole output of "dovecot -n" just in case something is relevant (the
"protocol lda" part of dovecot-postfix.conf follows it):
