Thanks for taking a look.

That's definitely not the issue. As I explained, I've played with
permissions through the entire /var/logmail tree (including the
/var/logmail/mbox directory).
Another configuration in which the exact same message occurs
(including the exact same statement about being owned by 0:0):
/var/logmail
|-- [drwx------ root root ] lost+found
|-- [drwxrwxr-x root mail ] mbox
| `-- [drwxr-xr-x ncrosby ncrosby ] ncrosby
`-- [drwxrwxr-x root mail ] spool
|-- [-rw-rw---- fedora mail ] fedora
`-- [-rw-rw---- ncrosby mail ] ncrosby
