The point of that was that v1.1 just doesn't create/update dovecot.index.cache files for POP3-only users. There's no need to configure it that way. I'll try to update the wiki to say that. :) dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log files still get created. I don't know how much of a difference it makes if you disable them instead of just letting them be updated.
