I'm wondering what I'd need to do to get the "important" flag set on an incoming message according to a pre-specified header. ... Since the flags are coded into the filenames when using maildir, is it possible for qmail to deliver a message with the flag included in the filename, and will Dovecot recognise it? If so I might try hacking qmail.
If the flag is in Dovecot's .customflags file you can hack qmail to directly add the flag in the filename. Files in new/ directory shouldn't actually contain flags (Dovecot's COPY works wrong here..), but Dovecot supports them fine.
I don't quite follow the significance of .customflags here, as the flag in question (important) isn't a custom one.
And are you saying that adding a flag to the file in new/ only works because Dovecot doesn't actually do the right thing? :) In which case, is this likely to be fixed/broken (depending on your viewpoint) in future?
