Oh, right, I was misreading the above, didn't notice the brackets between -F and 244 vars..

Yeah. I guess the "244 vars" means that. dovecot's whole job is to put settings into environment. I haven't heard of there being problems with that before. So what do you get with attached patch? My output is only 11 kB, and I think in Linux the limit was at least 256 kB. Or is it Linux or what you're using?
