Thanks for the suggestion! I added those lines to the bottom of
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf .
However, when I attempted the mbox to maildir conversion afterwards, I
still received an error, albeit a different one:
$ dsync -Dv \
-o 'mail_location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir' \
backup \
mbox:/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/:INBOX=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September

I was able to resolve this error by commenting out this line in my
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
include conf.d/*.conf
Even after that, though, dsync still failed to migrate the source mbox's
contents to the target maildir, but this time with a "Skipping unchanged
mailbox" message. See below for full output.
(Dsync did however replace the source mbox's contents with a dummy
message: "This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder,
and is not a real message. ...".)
I would be grateful for assistance to make dsync convert the mbox to a
maildir.
Here is dsync's output:
