Could the culprit be the syslogd? Could the syslogd have gone AWOL during the debian upgrade? That's a point of investigation, at least...

Exists for squeeze and sid, but not for wheezy.
The preferred syslogd for debian is now rsyslog: http://wiki.debian.org/Rsyslog
"apt-get install rsyslog" pulled the new syslogd in, and now "doveadm log find" reports meaningful values:
