I did so on the source server, checked indeed that 
dummy-c-1 at univ-nantes.fr wasn't showing up in the doveadm replicator 
status list and it was indeed the case, so far so good. On the 
destination server, dummy-c-1's mailbox was still showing a 115% quota 
so I tried to make dovecot recalculate the quota but it did not change 
anything. I ended up deleting the user's mailbox and forced a 
replication and, to my surprise, the new mailbox still has a 115% quota.
