Why does it matter where the timestamp lives? No matter how it was stored, you would have had the exact same problem because your client told Dovecot to use the current timestamp when saving the messages.
And why would keeping the INTERNALDATE in mtime be bad? It only changes if you write to the file. And existing mails must not be modified or you'll get other problems as well.
I guess that with the zlib plugin this date is extracted from the gzip metadata, right? I didn't preserve mtimes of gzipped mails...
