[Dovecot] [BUG] Lucene plugin breaks header substring search

According to the IMAP spec if I do a search for "TO isocpp.org" it
should find all the messages whose To: field contains the string
"isocpp.org", but dovecot is returning me an empty list.  However, a
search for "TO tm at isocpp.org" produces a long list of messages.  This
behavior is present if I *even load* the lucene fts plugin.
Note that lucene isn't in use (fts = squat); it's merely loaded.  This
behavior goes away if I don't load fts_lucene.

Dovecot configuration with dovecot -n:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# 2.1.6: /usr/local/stow/dovecot-2.1.6/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Darwin 11.4.2 x86_64  hfs

}
