Did you try running with the default cyrus.conf just to see how it goes? With the following line I get exactly 2 lmtpd running until mail arrives.
That's not the issue. What seems to be different is the behavior once the number of processes has increased. In the meantime I have observed that eventually the number of processes *does* decrease again, but generally they seem to stick around much longer than they used to. I've looked at the source and don't see any reason why ... it doesn't bother me too much, though ;-)
