I apologize for not getting back to you and the list, but I have since discovered that I was encountering a more generalized LDAP problem. I wil reply to my original post with more info.
Well, Dovecot was still behaving much worse than it should have. All it should have done was to log some errors about being unable to connect to LDAP server and give login failure replies to clients.
It does fail gracefully if the server is completely unreachable. You only see the weird mess of errors I posted when the LDAP server gets in some as-of-yet unknown weird half-hung state.
