All this code has been rewritten in v2.0 and there's not much point in spending time on figuring out why things aren't working perfectly in v1.x. But you could most likely avoid this problem by switching to "high-performance mode": http://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess
Okay, we do use high security mode specifically, and we require SSL on that server, I might just leave it as is, if there is no timeout value for these which I couldn't see when googling earlier today.
I want to look at v2, but need to wait until all staff on are Christmas holidays, so if upgrade goes pair shaped, I can restore and not get bombarded with phone calls from management who can't get their mail.
