I was having quite a hard time configuring dovecot on OpenBSD -current. The problem was default Maildir setting in 10-mail.conf, namely: mail_location maildir:~/Maildir was unable to locate user's home directory.
Dovecot makes use of an user's home dir in some situations. You should investigate the problem further, esp. if you think about to enable Sieve.
As far as I can remember, it was the correct setting on OpenBSD-current a week or two ago. Once I figured out and changed it to mail_location maildir:/path/to/home/%u/Maildir the problem was solved.
Actally, you worked around the problem. Dovecot seems to have problems to read the home dir from /etc/passwd. Do you have some Unix-hardening stuff ( Mandatory Access Control, Systrace) in place?
