That seems like lmtp is not doing variable expansion for user settings.
What version of dovecot are you running?
Aki
$ sudo jexec mail dovecot --version
2.2.32 (dfbe293d4)

I tried to repeat this issue locally, and was not able to. Can you
provide full output of
doveconf -n
and
doveadm user j...@example.com
with both %h and ~/

Found that I had two sets of passdb and userdb entries due to one from
local.conf and and another from conf.d/10-auth.conf including
auth-system.conf.ext -- unfortunately that wasn't the source of the
problems.
Turning on auth_debug=yes in local.conf and enabling LOG_DEBUG level
output shows that, in contrast to the "working" configuration, it looks
like my passwd-file configuration is returning "home=0" -- consistent with
"Error: Relative home directory paths not supported: 0"
auth: Debug: passwd-file(jeff,n.n.n.n,<longToken>): lookup:
user=jeff file=/usr/local/etc/dovecot/users
auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=jeff User
&:/home/jeff:/usr/sbin/nologin
dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jeff,n.n.n.n,<longToken>):
lookup: user=jeff file=/usr/local/etc/dovecot/users
dovecot: auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 1234567890 jeff
uid=xxxxx gid=xxxxx home=0 auth_token=verylongauthtoken
These were the clues needed -- While
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile talked about using a
FreeBSD master.passwd file as a passdb, it neglected to state that the
Linux format and FreeBSD format are different.
Linux -- user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields
FreeBSD -- name:password:uid:gid:class:change:expire:gecos:home_dir:shell
------------------------------------------^
Login will succeed, but the home variable will be populated with the
FreeBSD "change" which is often 0
Wiki page updated with details on how to use FreeBSD /etc/master.passwd
extracts with passwd-file
