Specifically, Thunderbird adds the "X-Keyword: $LabelN" header when

works on dovecot 0.99.11 (RHEL4), but not on 1.0beta3. 1.0b3
doesn't seem to add this header at all, but rather seems to keep
this information somewhere else. Perhaps in the .imap indexes?
No, it should work the exact same way with beta3, and it does work
with me.
Aditionally, we've found that if the .imap index directories are
removed, all the Thunderbird labels on messages seem to get
"confused", too. I.e., if the user uses multiple machines
throughout the day, changes in one client may not be reflected in
another, when the user moves to a different system.
This also sounds like there's something else wrong. Almost as if
Dovecot treats the mboxes as read-only and never writes the X-UID
etc. headers into them either?
Another thing we've noticed is the potential for bad behavior if a
use switches from the old dovecot to the new dovecot, which seems
to be resolved if the .imap indexes are removed...
1.0beta doesn't even notice the old indexes, so deleting them
shouldn't have any effect.
