With Postfix, I use mailbox_command = DOVECOT_LDA -n -e -m "${EXTENSION}" where DOVECOT_LDA is the path do dovecot's deliver. The -n switch prevents creation of the IMAP folder. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA

But it (-n) will deliver (rather than reject) into the regular INBOX if the folder for the extension does not exist?

I'm using Postfix, but with dovecot as a transport.

main.cf has: virtual_transport = dovecot

master.cf has: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

dovecot.conf has: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mail

I wonder if that ${EXTENSION} works in master.cf. I guess I gotta go back to Postfix for reading. I assumed this would be a Dovecot problem.

Yes, but your statement was about what you did, and I wasn't sure if your needs matched my needs. I guess it does.

Time to give that a try.
