I have the following set in the main level of my dovecot.conf file:

I decided to enable the lda protocol for local delivery from postfix,
so I could use sieve plugins. The lda protocol seems to ignore
settings in the rest of the dovecot.conf file, however, such as the
above. Unless lda has a pre-existing maildir mailbox, it can't
create one. How do I give lda defaults to follow, if the above
statement doesn't do it?

Sounds like it's using a wrong config file. Try running explicitly with deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Or set mail_debug=yes and check what it writes to logs.
