Something similar happened to me once on a Fedora Core 3 system with SELinux 
enabled, where a startup script using 'su -c' (not dovecot's) stopped to ask 
me if I wanted the SELinux context changed. Try running it like this

  /etc/init.d/dovecot < /dev/null

to see if this makes any difference.

Thank you for your consideration,
