Login/auth processes see that file descriptor 5 is given to them, even 
if they don't want it. Two possibilities:

1) Dovecot master process opens a file and leaks it. Unlikely because 
it doesn't happen with me.

2) The process that starts Dovecot's master process leaks a file 
descriptor to Dovecot (some do it intentionally, eg. gdb). How do you 
start Dovecot? From normal shell?

In any case, none of this is checked unless you give --enable-debug 
option to configure, so recompiling without it would at least fix it..
