Try diff-ing the two files (postfix vs dovecot) to see if any problem can be found there. (If you are still interested :D)

Time to put an end to this saga...

I had an issue that Dovecot refused to serve an updated SSL certificate - one that Postfix had no issue with. Though I quadruple-checked that the cert file and private key file were correct, in the end I simply directed both cert and key files to the file I was using for Postfix (which had both the cert and private key). That worked. Darned if I know what it didn't like about the other files, but I'm back in business with the new cert. Thanks for the responsiveness from Aki.
