No, this is what happens when spamd works with unix users, as it might on a
login server.

I guess it would apply to  --virtual-config-dir as well. I've no idea about
other types of virtual user.

In the case of a shared directory between unix users it would be necessary to
defers setting the flag until the spamd child  regains root privileges, which
may be more trouble than it's worth.

For virtual users a shared directory would be owned by the unprivileged user.
