Switched to using /home/user/Maildir and, yes, I think you're totally right.
With the changed location:
Roundcube seems to work as it generates much more traffic with Dovecot -
lots of opening and closing of connections and (when re-armed) the

Just re-tried this, and it doesn't seem to fire getmail on access for me.
My incrontab is as follows:

Maybe off-topic, still: (If your remote server is imap,) why not use
fetchmail?
Here's a mangled/working /etc/fetchmailrc for an SSL imap account:
poll smtp.provider.net protocol IMAP port 993
