Could this be a bug in dovecot?

So it seems. I hadn't noticed that "have to" part. Here's a fix: http://dovecot.org/patches/maildir.patch

I've found that placing the files inside of the new directory instead of the cur forces the files to be indexed as the MUA "sees" them as new messages (which in theory, they are to that user/folder).

Not sure if this addresses what you're looking for, but it's how I've gotten around the issue for now.
