Seems there is a bug in 1.1-rc4 in regards to sieve/managesieve, this problem goes away if I downgrade to 1.0.13.
Gentoo x86_64 2.6.18-028stab053 (OpenVZ) Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600
Maildirs are not NFS mounted
The VE in question runs daemons with the following USE flags;
mail-mta/postfix-2.4.6-r2 USE="dovecot-sasl ipv6 ldap mailwrapper mysql pam ssl" net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1 USE="ipv6 ldap managesieve mysql pam sieve ssl"
Sieve rules are setup only in Smartsieve(1.0-RC2), running in Lighttpd(1.4.18-r3).

I upgraded to 1.1-rc4 and indeed the problem re-occured, Id be happy to bring more info/ax to the VE if it helps nailing the issue.
