Also, nowadays Lua would be a better way to do custom authentication and we're more careful not to break that.

And looks like we forgot to mention in v2.3.17 release notes that the dict protocol had to be changed due to some improvements. Your dict server should verify that the VERSION line's major version number is as expected, and error out if not. That would have made it easier to notice this change. See https://doc.dovecot.org/developer_manual/design/dict_protocol/ for the new protocol - the only relevant change I think is that a "<tab><username>" is appended to each lookup command, and since these are shared/ key lookups it means there is no username, and you just need to ignore the trailing <tab> at the end of L-command lines.

I was only aware of iteration being broken with multiple userdbs, since that's not used so much. And we added a test to verify that multiple userdb iteration is actually returning results from both userdbs, so that shouldn't be completely broken either.
