If I were you, I'd make home and mail point to a different directory, which could be as simple as home=/var/mail/%d/%n mail=/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir. This way, dovecot will only look for mail in the $HOME/Maildir, but still can do administrative stuff in $HOME.
What "administrative stuff"?
Currently sieve scripts, in future possibly some other files. Don't think "home" as a traditional user's home directory, but rather as a directory where Dovecot can safely create whatever files it wants without having them show up as mailboxes to user.
