A consequence of this change that I figured out today, and which people should be aware of:

I had an internal mail delivery problem that appears to have begun when my LE certificate was renewed on August 31. Postfix continued to work fine, but Thunderbird could no longer retrieve mail using IMAP via Dovecot because it did not get back a trusted CA.

The solution to this problem turned out to be to modify my LE deployment post-hook to also deploy fullchain.pem into /etc/postfix as well as cert.pem, and then change dovecot's ssl_cert configuration to use fullchain.pem instead of cert.pem.
