Thanks, your test has cracked the problem.
You noticed that there was no @ added to the auth_username_chars. Bit of a wild goose chase as I would have thought that as the username had an @ but was not specified in the auth_username_chars it would not even go as far as authdb or passdb checks. The one log I did not check was my standard log file for the error that was noticed by you, I was looking at the debug logs and that message was not posted out to there.
Personally and I dont know if its possible to get a fix inplace is that if the username has an invalid character it quits far earlier before getting though to authdb.

I compiled to current hg version of Dovecot:

I created a new user
adduser --gecos 'DV test' --disabled-password dvtest
I have setup a Dovecot config with: http://pastebin.com/XKNn6W24
Because sieve did not compile, I removed sieve from your config.
Then I added "@" to auth_username_chars, because of this error:
Info: userdb(?): Username character disallowed by auth_username_chars: 0x40 (username: dvtest@example.com)
Then I ran:
(echo LHLO loc; echo 'mail from:skdovecot@example.net'; echo 'rcpt to:dvtest@example.com'; echo data; sleep 1; echo "To: dvtest@example.com From: ska@mail.inf.h-brs.de Subject: Test
