It has been running flawlessly for quite some time until the update.
Global scripts were compiled:
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve # ls 10-move-spam.sieve 10-move-spam.svbin
However, I ran sievec again and tried saving a modified script and got the same:
shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel@blackrosetech.com): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.svbin.shiofuki.blackrosetech.com.96421.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 143:6 mode=0775) Dec 9 11:30:39 shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel@blackrosetech.com): Error: sieve: The LDA Sieve plugin does not have permission to save global Sieve script binaries; global Sieve scripts like `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.sieve' need to be pre-compiled using the sievec tool
I use Thomas Schmid's Sieve 0.2.3d add on to Thunderbird, if that might have any significance.
Compiling with sievec shouldn't change the permission error, which I still don't understand.

I recently updated dovecot and my sieve filters stopped working. Checking the logs I see:

As mentioned in the error message from your logs and in the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage#Manually_Compiling_Sieve_Scr...:
To mitigate this problem, the administrator must manually pre-compile global scripts using the sievec command line tool.
