Any of them begin with "Fatal: "? Why is it giving kevent() errors
anyway? Those shouldn't happen.

Are you using some pre-v1.0.0 release? With v1.0.10 it seems to work
correctly:

% echo foo|./deliver -d user

deliver(user): Jan 10 06:20:47 Error: Can't connect to auth server
at /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory

% echo $?
75
% grep 75 /usr/include/sysexits.h 
#define EX_TEMPFAIL     75      /* temp failure; user is invited to retry */
