Well, first of all I don't understand why you're using 700 and not 600. Also I don't understand where exactly you've applied ACLs, to mail files themselves or to dovecot-shared? In any case Dovecot wouldn't even try to copy the ACLs if you wanted that. But as for why the mail files are 660, that's a bit weird. If you didn't have dovecot-shared file at all, are they still created with 660? If so, the only thing I can think of is that you've changed umask from dovecot.conf. The default is umask=077 (and it's already been removed from dovecot-example.conf because changing it doesn't work in any useful way).
