If you update dovecot you have to restart the running master daemon
which is still the old one (/etc/rc.d/dovecot restart) otherwise it will
try to run newer subprocesses when someone logs in and that fails
without the mentioned config option. Restarting is better though because
you could run into incompatibilities.
It's a feature, not a bug.
