This is probably a bug.. doveconf should expand settings before verifying them. Except the $var expansion is done while parsing the config file, so that would need more code to parse the same lines into two different internal structs. Also it still wouldn't be perfect if it didn't expand the set = <file values (and if it did, doveconf -n as non-root would usually complain about ssl key file, which is annoying).
Maybe I just won't do anything about it until it becomes a real problem. :)
