Okay, more data.  When running sieve using sieve-test, I get the results
I expect.  I cannot figure out why it works in situ, but does not work
from dovecot.  Here is my doveconf -n output:

# 2.0.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.35 i686 Debian wheezy/sid 
managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
plugin/sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
plugin/sieve_dir = ~/sieve
protocols = " imap sieve"
service managesieve-login {
  inet_listener sieve {
    port = 4190
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
