David, can you check if the problem persists with 0.99.20050712-1 which is 
in sid?  This is actually the 1.0stable branch of dovecot and has many 
fixes not included in 0.99.x

The package should work correctly on sarge (a proper sarge backport is 
forthcoming) but you will also need libpq4 from sid and you'll need to 
make sure dovecot-common is also upgraded to 0.99.20050712-1 also.
