Is this a problem with dovecot?
That's probably because you CN doesn't match your server in
certificate. Do you using self-signed certificated?
Is there any way around this if you have an IP and lots of A records
pointing at it?
As I understand it mail clients are going to winge if you use any name
other than the one which is in the certificate? My simple research
suggests that they don't do a lookup, then a reverse lookup and
compare that?
It's a problem with vhosted domains... Any suggestions?

Usually it works like this. You are configure your mail client to
address like this mail.example.com, when mail client establish
connection to server and receive certificate it compare CN with current
configuration in it. So if you configure connect to mx.example.com but
server receive certificate with CN=mail.example.com it should warn you.
It doesn't do any PTR lookups.
