And of course, as soon as I sent the last email I figured it out. Using '.' instead of '/' as folder separator fixed it. Why does Maildir require a different folder separator? Isn't this a bug?
Create a namespace with a '/' separator if you want to change it. The default is '.' because that's what the separator is on the disk.
Why does it work for mbox? Because for mbox the on-disk separator is '/'? That seems like a bug (UI issue). My .sieve shouldn't be sensitive to the specifics of the mailbox format.
One last thing, I thought '/' was the default, from this comment in the default dovecot.conf:
# Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all # namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one. #separator = /
