I run postfix+dovecot in a virtual user setup. Postfix calls deliver as user vmail group vmail.

I will say this: dovecot's error reporting in general is head and shoulders above the norm. Makes tracking down problems sooo much easier.
Something else I noticed, should the dict-server socket really be mode 777? At least a-x I would think.

Probably easier to tell if you would post your setup, but I guess this fixes it:
socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user= vmail group = vmail }
