Don't rely on an existing temp directory. Create /var/spool/dovecot/ and /var/spool/dovecot/tmp/ with the installation script and assign the appropriate permissions. This solves the current problem and gives you a dedicated dovecot spool directory to use in the future for other functions/features.

+2. Right from the FHS section -
"/var/spool contains data which is awaiting some kind of later processing. Data in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future (by a program, user, or administrator); often data is deleted after it has been processed."
Having a configuration parameter as well is always good - but make /var/spool/dovecot the default.
