Further information: I have discovered that while my workaround does enable dovecot to be run from inetd the results are still slightly unexpected. If the access permissions in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} are different for the imap and imaps services, the entry for imaps is ignored, and the permissions for both services are controlled by the entry for imap.
