an attempt to obtain a core file I have:
service imap-login {
    chroot =
    drop_priv_before_exec = yes
    user = dovecot
}

How can I make imap-login to produce a core file?

Maybe this helps:

I can create core dumps but not from imap-login, so it's not a general 
system restriction.  Adding abort() to the master gives a core - but but 
not a relevant one.  Adding an arbitrary abort() to imap-login gives a 
"core not dumped" message.
