After more digging I've ended up with this sieve spam script:
require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", 
"variables", "vnd.dovecot.debug"];

---CUT HERE---
if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" {
   set "username" "${1}";
}

debug_log "In log-spam.sieve, username = ${username}";

pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ];
---CUT HERE---

Can't see anything in maillog. Where can I read more about debugging 
imapsieve?
