Is it possible to take the contents of a mailbox and feed them to the account's .active_sieve file for reprocessing?
(For example, when editing the sieve file for my list account I introduced a typo, so a hundred or some list messages ended up in the inbox instead of filed properly into the maildir hierarchy. Not a huge deal, as it was simple enough to move them manually, but it got me wondering.
This would also be useful for testing.

You can use imap sieve refilter. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/plugins/imapfilter_sieve/

That looks like what I want, but once I've enabled the plugin how would I actually tell dovcot to process a mailbox "Test" with the sieve script "new.sieve"?
That seems tone missing from the link above.

Never mind, I found this:
sieve-filter -v -eW -u kremels@kreme.com /usr/local/virtual/kremels@kreme.com/.active_sieve "INBOX"
(After first running without -eW to double check)

Just to answer your question:
FILTER=SIEVE is IMAP extension, so you'd use it like
01 FILTER SIEVE PERSONAL default <SEARCH QUERY>
over IMAP.
