hi josh
Try turning off Apparmor. When I did the same OpenSuSE upgrade, Apparmor messed up my dovecot installation with similar errors. I disabled Apparmor and the permissions issues disappeared. BTW, I gave up trying to re-configure Apparmor and have left it disabled with no issues.
i also do periodic rolling updates from suse-11.x to 12.x to 13.x on the same server and now just run suse-factory and need to tweek some apps/settings
in your case, i'd also check suse iptables rules and also maybe it's an issue with /etc/init.d vs systemctl
systemctl enable dovecot && systemctl restart dovecot
---> what is the output of systemctl status doveoct

both of my other servers its owned by exim, the permissions in the other two servers are 644, and dovecot starts just fine on those, I don't know what happened I updated my server from opensuse 12.1 to 13.2 and now dovecot is refusing to start.
