OK, I found in the source code that I can use SUBSCRIPTIONS=... to fix 
this, although oddly enough I don't see a file being created now.  (This 
might be documented in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation or 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir...)

So now I get the same crash as before with LAYOUT=fs, and my 
mail_location:

mail_location = 
maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs:CONTROL=~/Maildir/.dove
cot:SUBSCRIPTIONS=~/Maildir/.subscriptions
