Yep. Looks like it's broken in v1.2 for mbox. It works in v2.0 though. I
could maybe write a patch for v1.2, but you'd need to compile Dovecot
anyway.
A patch would be much appreciated.

Thanks. Works like a charm.
I include the following for others who might want to apply this patch to
their Ubuntu/Debian systems.
--------------------------------
# likely already done but include for completeness
apt-get install build-essential devscripts
cd /d/linux/dovecot
# or where ever you stash such things
apt-get build-dep dovecot
# installed a bunch of dev libs/pkgs.
apt-get source dovecot
cd dovecot-1.2.9/
cp src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c
src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox.storage.c.orig
vi src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c
# change mbox-storage.c per
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/45769d0cc39c#l1.25
dch -v 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.1ta "mbox: Creating new mailboxes should base
permissions on mail root dir, not always use 0600"
# this sets the version to 1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.1ta and adds and entry in
the changelog.
# did this so apt/synaptic would see our version as newer then existing.
debuild -us -uc
# can use dpkg-buildpackage command-line options
# -us -uc means do not sign source package or .changes file.
cd /d/linux/dovecot
# now contains a set of dovecot debs
I then moved the debs to our local repository, updated the repository
index, and installed using synaptic.
OR
# assuming /d/linux/dovecot contains only the newly generated debs,
install the packages using dpkg
dpkg -i *.deb
