Do you think it wold be worthwhile to add command line options to "deliver" and "imap" to make them ignore "system wide" configuration file and use ~/.dovecotrc instead?
How about:
dovecot -c ~/.dovecotrc
I need "single IMAP session via stdin/stdout". I think you meant: dovecot -c ~/.dovecotrc --exec-mail imap
As I understand imap command supports no command line options [1.0.15]
Right.
Can "full imap command configuration" be achieved via MAIL and MBOX_LOCKS environment variables?
Yes, all settings are passed via environment. They're not documented anywhere though (but http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting gives some hints).
But what's wrong with using --exec-mail?

It is a matter of preferences. I prefer avoiding use of extra piece of code not needed for what I need [(pre-authenticated) stdin/stdout imap session]. It reduces number of places where "things may go wrong" :-)
