Hey, it works (for me) now:

namespace {
   type = private
   separator = .
   prefix = archive.
   location = mdbox:/home/%u/archive
   #subscriptions = no
   #list = children
}

plugin {
   quota = dict:User quota::ns=:proxy::quota
   quota2 = dict:Archive quota:%u.archive:ns=archive.:proxy::quota
   quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576
}

Note the %u.archive _and_ ns=archive. ! The "%u.archive" is used as 
"username" in the SQL table and you require another name (primary key) 
there for both namespaces, see below. Seems to work for any type of 
namespace.

@Timo: I will going to document this setup in the Wiki unless you say the 
syntax is wrong and/or works because of a bug only.

:-)

==================================

Old response with my debugging/findings for information only.

all the name spaces use one entry in the quota dict table, hence,
it does not work.

I use these settings now:

# 2.1.14 (ea7e45c1da72+): /usr/local/dovecot-2.1.14/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.6

[snip]

dict {
   quota = pgsql:/usr/local/dovecot-2.1.14/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
namespace {
   location = mdbox:/home/%u/archive
   prefix = archive.
   separator = .
   type = private
}
plugin {
   quota = dict:User quota::ns=:proxy::quota
   quota2 = dict:Archive quota::ns=archive.:proxy::quota
   quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576
   quota_rule = *:storage=300MB
   quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+30M
}

The problem is now, that there is one row in the quota dict SQL table,
that holds the quota of an user, e.g. doveadm quota recalc executes
these SQL statements:

2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: BEGIN
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: DELETE FROM quota WHERE username = 'dvtest1'
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: DELETE FROM quota WHERE username = 'dvtest1'
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('2173894','dvtest1')
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: INSERT INTO quota (messages,username) VALUES ('89','dvtest1')
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: COMMIT
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: BEGIN
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: DELETE FROM quota WHERE username = 'dvtest1'
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: DELETE FROM quota WHERE username = 'dvtest1'
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: INSERT INTO quota (bytes,username) VALUES ('2582','dvtest1')
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: INSERT INTO quota (messages,username) VALUES ('2','dvtest1')
2013-02-04 11:52:07 CET LOG:  statement: COMMIT

Deliveries to INBOX or a folder of "archive." yields:

UPDATE quota SET bytes=bytes+1220,messages=messages+1 WHERE username = 'dvtest1'

This is true if I change the type of name spaces "archive" from "private"
into "shared" or "public".
