Problem solved. It appears that my configuration contained two plugin {} blocks. One in an include (which is what I was editing) and one in the main dovecot.conf. While neither plugin {} block contained anything that would override the other, it appears that deliver doesn't listen to the second block. when I run "dovecot -n" the settings from both blocks are consolidated and output, but as soon as I removed the duplicate block, deliver started processing Sieve rules as expected.

It wasn't until I tried hand-delivering a message on the command line that the issue became obvious. I'm not sure if deliver is actually paying any attention to the include options, so I may consolidate my config and forget about multiple configuration files.

Thanks for your help Stephan!

Are you sure you are using the Dovecot LDA (deliver)? Did you follow these instructions in the wiki?

http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA http://wiki1.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

From the looks of things, your Postfix currently still does its own mail delivery instead of using the Dovecot LDA. You should see entries in your log relating to LDA/deliver and Sieve, especially since you enabled mail_debug. To test whether Sieve is configured correctly (and to see what the Dovecot LDA normally logs), you can also manually execute /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver and feed it a message.

I am using Dovecot deliver to perform mail delivery. I'm absolutely certain of this because I get spam scores and it is SpamAssassin that actually hands the mail over to deliver. Here is my postfix master.cfentry for spamc/deliver:

dovespam unix n n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=dovemail:dovemail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension}

Ok, then what do your logs say about delivery? Even when things are filed in INBOX, the logs should show that deliver and sieve are being executed and putting the mail there.
