Since you've looked at the code, what about: squatter -r 'user.a*'

That will look for mailboxes matching user.a*.* which would match "user.abc123.foo2 but not "user.abc123".

The code just adds ".*" to the end of any string that you give it, hence the slightly odd wording in the manual page:

 -r: Recursively create indexes for all submailboxes of the mailboxes
     or mailbox prefixes given as arguments.

I'm worried that if I try to squat the entire server every night, the I/O from that combined with backups will mean that the squatting never finishes in time for active business hours.

I had the same concern. I made a small change to my Cyrus install so that it only squats a fraction of the mailboxes each night using some simple modulo arithmetic (e.g: squatter -m0 -M5 squats 1/5th of the mailboxes).
