The trailing '/' means mbox format, correct?
No. The trailing '/' means maildir format. (The '/' makes the path look like
a directory.)
Forgot to add: specifying the 'mbox:' explicitly should make that a moot
point. Dovecot only has to guess (by using "Does the path end in '/'?") if
you don't specify mbox/dbox/maildir/etc. (I suspect it might also depend
on whether the file/dir already exists.)
However, I solved my own problem, but I don't know why.
Enlightenment would be appreciated.

Q: why did commenting out the mail_location line make pop3
retrieval of the virtual host mailboxes work correctly?
Commenting out the mail_location line made dovecot fall back to the default
locations. See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation
