So, to put a bow on it, could/should Debian packages be setting the variable more specifically just for mbox, through "mbox/layout_fs/mail_inbox_path" or similar?
I can suggest it to them, if there's a way to set it so it doesn't affect maildir like in my use case.

This is by design. The default '.' shows up with
doveconf maildir/mail_inbox_path.This does not appear to be true. If I comment out mail_inbox_path in the Debian config and in my local.conf:
doveconf maildir/mail_inbox_path
echo $?
0
My bad:
~$ doveconf maildir/layout_maildir++/mail_inbox_path maildir { layout_maildir++ { mail_inbox_path = . } }
It's there for layout_fs too.
