I ended up not trying to deploy both 1.2 and 2.0 dovecot servers on the same machine. Even after mangling the various configure options to let the bin, sbin, lib and libexec directories coexist, the /var and /etc dirs were still an issue, and in the end I didn't want to have all my path settings tweaked, then have to un-tweak them to actually migrate.
Very odd. I simply used
./configure --prefix=/usr/dovecot-2
and that was it.
Of course I had to change some paths in the config, but that was all.
My target system is a NAS appliance and many of its filesystems are not persistent across reboot. Changing only the prefix is not sufficient to make a successful configuration. Unfortunately.
