And I missed it, it says "use dovecot -n when showing your configuration".

I was sure it wasn't a bug, it was a screwup on my part in the configuration, so I didn't read the bugreport page.

Well, there could also be a "dovecot-bugreport" script.  Much as I hate 'em, sometimes they work...

I really thought it would be a simple "here's what you missed", since the logs are relatively uninformative. . .

Thank you, I recall from years ago how responsive and kind people are on this mailing list.  I certainly wasn't trying to be cryptic.

Here's the complete set of everything.  I wrote a little script to do this repeatedly, to make it easy to make changes and try again.

Note that in the last test, it works.  Simply adding "X-Original-To: rewards+test at enoent.net" and sending the same message with "/usr/lib/sendmail -t < msg" will do what's expected.
